Synopsis
A stunning debut novel with an intriguing literary hook: written in part as a letter from a victim to her abductor. Sensitive, sharp, captivating!
Gemma, 16, is on layover at Bangkok Airport, en route with her parents to a vacation in Vietnam. She steps away for just a second, to get a cup of coffee. Ty--rugged, tan, too old, oddly familiar--pays for Gemma's drink. And drugs it. They talk. Their hands touch. And before Gemma knows what's happening, Ty takes her. Steals her away. The unknowing object of a long obsession, Gemma has been kidnapped by her stalker and brought to the desolate Australian Outback. STOLEN is her gripping story of survival, of how she has to come to terms with her living nightmare--or die trying to fight it.

From the Author
"The temptation of the strong but dangerous boyfriend is significant- and echoed in literature: the classic example being Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights. Perhaps we think we can save him, or perhaps we're so infatuated that we turn a blind eye to his problems and abusive behavior. By writing Stolen, I set out to challenge young women to question their own relationships: What are the boundaries between love, control, and obsession? And how do we find the strength and honesty within ourselves to avoid or escape from the wrong kind of situation?"
-Lucy Christopher
