HELD HOSTAGE

 Rebecca Mae Hill painfully recounts her childhood in Jug Hollow, Alabama. She endures not just abuse, neglect, and homelessness, but also faces the aching loneliness of being invisible to those who should protect her. Her world shatters when she is abducted and thrust into an act of sex trafficking. Her parents abandon her to face unspeakable trauma alone as her life becomes overwhelming. Through resilience, she leaves home at an early age. She revisits her diary, sorting through her raw painful past, only to realize the diary is her memoir. Through writing, she slowly mends, her passion guiding her toward becoming an author. Yet at the height of her success, she is haunted by a sinister secret.  This agonizing, ever-present conflict shapes her journey as she struggles to confront her past and summon the strength to embrace her future.
