Illustrated with 8 pages of photographs! "Compelling . . . an inspiration for others to reach out," Leeza Gibbons, NBC-TV. Before the Cleveland house of horrors, there was this classic true crime thriller from the Pacific Northwest (now updated in Kindle & brand new paperback editions from Amazon). The reporter who covered her rescue lets you meet 20 years later with courageous kidnap victim Abby Drover to tell her story, and explore the twisted mind and final days of her abductor. Chilled by her prospects, Abby scribbles a note foreseeing her own demise as she is held for months in an underground dungeon at the age of 13: "If I don't live through this, I would like my body to be cremated and the ashes poured all over my house on 1617 Barnet Highway. PS: If you find me dead, my killer is . . . He kidnapped me on the morning of March 10, 1976. I also died, if so, after my 13th birthday." Realizing there was no escape, Abby stoically hid this note identifying her kidnapper in the lining of one of her boots, assuming it would be recovered somewhere along the shoreline together with her lifeless body. But instead, Abby would endure many more months of rape, starvation and solitary confinement as she lay helplessly captive less than half a block from home. In addition to chronicling Abby's unspeakable ordeal, Resurrection explores the twisted mind of a repeat sex offender who, she thought, was a trusted friend - and raises questions about deception, prisoner rehabilitation, victim's rights and justice itself. But ultimately through these shocking, deeply moving pages there emerges an inspirational testimony to one young girl's gulp-inducing courage and her indomitable will to triumph. "A gripping story of real-life horror and suspense, written with Drover's co-operation, illuminating, highly commendable, good reading," Quill and Quire Magazine; "Tightly written . . . flair for investigation," The Vancouver Sun.
