Sophie Crockett is a survivor. When she was just 17, she became a victim of horrendous mental and physical abuse, and was kept captive for two years. After escaping, she had the courage and bravery to write her story down. Sophie hopes this book will serve as a warning and inspiration to all women, and be a damning indictment of a criminal justice system that appears to punish the victim more than the perpetrator.
