Synopsis: Once upon a time, I was a little girl who disappeared. Once upon a time, my name was not Alice. Once upon a time, I didn't know how lucky I was.When Alice was ten, Ray took her away from her family, her friends - her life. She learned to give up all power, to endure all pain. She waited for the nightmare to be over. Now Alice is fifteen and Ray still has her, but he speaks more and more of her death. He does not know what she longs for. She does not know he has something more terrifying than death in mind for her. This is Alice's story. It is one you have never heard, and one you will never, ever forget.
Review: While this book is considered "young adult" fiction, I found the copy I read in the adult section of my library, with good reason. The content and subject matter are extremely disturbing and I wanted to stop reading, but I could not put the book down.
I did enjoy the author's writing style and the story is well-told.
