Then I Was Taken: A Memoir

By Alaina Davis

Even though Anne was underprepared to steal a child, she succeeded in kidnapping and manipulating Alaina, making her believe that her family abandoned her.

Being drugged, 'accidentally' electrocuted, and sexually abused nearly breaks the thirteen-year-old girl as she is held captive in a foreign country, three thousand miles from home.

Walk with the author as she shares her firsthand experience in being taken and delves into the feelings that come with being a kidnap victim, in this heartbreaking and thrilling true story that must be read to be believed.

Remember, monsters don't always live under the bed.

Back of the Book

My heart shatters while faces flash through my mind. Mom. Dad. My cousins. My Aunt. Kameron. Jane. Every face brings a fresh wave of stinging pain before fading away.

I can't hold back the tears anymore.

This lady, this monster, that I barely know, just decided to take me from everything I've ever known.

I got no warning. I had no choice. I didn't even get to say goodbye.

I'm screaming at Anne in my mind, but in reality, I'm frozen in place.

I feel like I've lost control of my own body.

I'm terrified.
