When Jane Elliott was four years old, the nightmare began. She became the helpless victim of a sociopath--bullied, dominated, and sexually abused by a man only fourteen years her senior: her stepfather. For nearly two decades she was held prisoner, both physically and emotionally. But at the age of twenty-one she escaped . . . and then she fought back.
The Little Prisoner is the shocking, astonishing, and ultimately uplifting true story of one woman's shattering twenty-year ordeal--and how she triumphed against an evil and violent human monster when honesty and bravery were her only weapons.
