Description

The heartbreaking yet courageous true story of a mother who risked her life to rescue her kidnapped daughter from war-torn Syria. In the middle of Syria's civil war, Louise Monaghan walked across a heavily guarded border to save her six-year-old child from the father who had snatched her from their home in Cyprus. Not knowing what lay ahead, the Irish mother tricked her ex-husband into believing she still loved him and wanted to live together as a family, purely so that she could see her daughter again. Once in his homeland, she was held captive, locked inside a run-down house day and night with little food and no hope of escape. Severely beaten, she was left unconscious in front of their child, but just 24 hours later she and her little girl miraculously escaped. The journey they undertook—through bomb attacks and sniper fire, across a heavily patrolled mountain range in the dead of night, led by illegal people-smugglers—was a miracle in itself. Somehow they survived, and Stolen is their breathtaking account of events. About the Author: Louise Monaghan studied travel and tourism in college and formerly worked as a senior travel consultant. She is now trying to rebuild her life in Cyprus, surrounded by a large circle of friends.
