Jane Anonymous (Jane Anonymous, #1)

Bestselling author Laurie Faria Stolarz returns with Jane Anonymous, a gripping tale of a seventeen-year-old girl's kidnapping and her struggle to fit back into her life after she escapes. Then, Jane was just your typical 17-year-old in a typical New England suburb getting ready to start her senior year. She had a part-time job she enjoyed, an awesome best friend, overbearing but loving parents, and a crush on a boy who was taking her to see her favorite band. She never would've imagined that in her town where nothing ever happens, a series of small coincidences would lead to a devastating turn of events that would forever change her life. Now, it's been three months since Jane escaped captivity and returned home. Three months of being that girl who was kidnapped, the girl who was held by a monster. Three months of writing down everything she remembered from those seven months locked up in that stark white room. But, what if everything you thought you knew--everything you thought you experienced--turned out to be a lie? "Jane" was just your typical high school student... until a series of small coincidences led to seven months locked up in a stark white room. Instructed how to eat, bathe, and behave; never knowing if it was day or night. Holding hands with Mason through a hole in the wall, taking solace from their pact to escape together. But the day she escaped she had to leave him behind... and now the detectives say there were no other kidnapped kids. How far will "Jane" go to uncover the truth of what happened? -- adapted from jacket In chapters alternating between "then" and "now," seventeen-year-old Jane Anonymous chronicles the events leading up to her abduction and seven-month captivity and her painful return to family and friends
