Amanda Lindhout was a young lady from Canada whose dream had always been to travel. She was in love with National Geographic magazines and, from a very young age, wanted to go to the places she saw in those pages.
She gets a job as a waitress, serving high-end clients and makes enough money to begin her travelling dream. She goes to many countries including Africa, Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan & Iraq. She stays on her trips long enough for her money to end, then goes home and makes enough money to travel some more.
Amanda takes on a job as a television reporter. While doing that job in Somalia, she is captured and taken hostage. She is held hostage for 460 days. She is abused and becomes Islamic to better her chances of surviving.
This was an absolute nightmare for this woman. I can't even imagine the fear she must have felt. Bravo for sharing this story with us.

Breathtaking. Beautifully written. Her human soul shared was humbling, and I so appreciate her doing it.
This is one of the most important and terrifying memoirsI have read. I couldn't put it down.
