The Little Prisoner: How a Childhood was Stolen and a Trust Betrayed by Jane Elliot

From the age of 4, Jane Elliot carried a terrible secret ... she was the slave of her stepfather - in every way imaginable.

The Little Prisoner is the devastating true story of a girl who was dominated, bullied and sexually abused by a man just 14 years her senior. He held her prisoner in an emotional and physical nightmare for 17 years ... until she fought back.

At the age of 21, Jane managed to escape him to be with the man she loved and her two daughters, but it took another five years of living in hiding before she found the courage to go to the police.

Nearly every witness who could have attested to the psychopath's evil and violent habits was too frightened to come forward, so the outcome of the case rested solely on whether the judge and jury would believe Jane and her small band of brave supporters.

A heart-rending and inspirational story of a girl who bravely triumphs over evil.
