Description
Gemma's story begins with a chance encounter at the airport. A stranger pays for her drink and they strike up a conversation that leaves her feeling uneasy. Before she knows it, he's taken her somewhere she can't escape.
Written as a letter from Gemma to her captor, this book is a heart-wrenching account of survival and resilience in the face of unimaginable horror. It's a story about how one person can be reduced to nothing more than a pawn in someone else's game.
This powerful and thought-provoking novel has been praised for its raw emotion and unflinching portrayal of the human spirit. If you're looking for a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading, then this is one that won't let you go.
