Kidnapped by ELN Terrorist Organization in Colombia

The author provides an accurate account of how one survives a long-term captivity in the hands of this particular insurgent group (ELN) in the Colombian jungles. Her internal struggle is as great of an enemy as her captors but based on having known and interviewed any number of kidnap victims, Leszli Kalli honestly and bravely relates the psychological challenge of prolonged captivity. She recognizes the strength and greatness of the moral fiber of her father who was held along with her.

A good read!

I thought it was a very good book. I met Lezli over the summer, which is why I read the book. The reason it appears "abrupt" is because a lot of information was edited out by the publishers. I found that she demonstrated a great amount of courage and is a good example for all women. I recommend reading this book!

Through honest, moving, shocking

This was a wonderful, funny, sad, tragic and inspiring book all at the same time. It was often difficult to imagine Leszli's determination as a young child as she grew up in captivity, all the while living in conditions many people cannot fathom. I read this book with a heavy heart, hoping for it all to turn out ok in the end.
