TITLE: Perfect Victim: The True Story of "The Girl in the Box"
AUTHOR: by Christine Mcguire and Carla Norton
WHAT'S IT ABOUT?: This book is about a woman who is kidnapped and help captive by this man for years. It tells the story of how she went from terrorized prisoner, to a willing family member. Despite being tortured constantly throughout her stay with her captors.

I found this book to be graphic and horrific. Stockholm Syndrome is something that personally touches my life, so parts of this book hit a little too deep. Aside from my personal sore spots, the depictions of the various boxes she was kept in chilled me to the bone and kept me up at night.

I highly recommend this book to any true crime fan.
