“Alice” was abducted by Ray when she was ten years old. Five years later, she’s a skeleton of the young, vibrant girl she used to be. She’s sustained unspeakable physical and mental abuse at the hands of Ray. She begs each day just to die. Then, Ray asks her find him a new girl. And so, Alice begins the search for her replacement, her salvation. LIVING DEAD GIRL is a dark and terrifying look into the life of an abused teen. While this book is geared to teens, there are bits that aren’t overly graphic but would still be too shocking and detailed for a young teen. Although this is a very short book, it is powerful and memorable. A book so disturbing you’ll want to put it down, but so compelling that you are forced to continue. This book, and the “Alices” out there will be on my mind for some time. It has been quite some time since a book has impacted me so powerfully.
To win an ARC of Living Dead Girl, comment on this review. Winner will be announced next Saturday, October 4th.

A friend of mine reviewed this one a little while ago and her comments aroused quite a discussion. I am definitely interested in giving it a try. Please enter me.
As, I was reading the review of this book felt a knot in my stomach. This is a true story. Only the characters have been changed from male to female. In Missouri, Sean Hornbeck was missing for years. Then another boy Ben Ownby went missing. Following a lead from a young boy who thought he saw the abduction, the police found Ben and then saw Sean. Sean’s parents had never given up. You can read the story here http://www.shawnhornbeck.com/
This is certainly a story that hits close to home.
I hate it when I hear about things like this happening but young people have to be made aware of it. I would like to read this book and give it to my grandchildren when they are a little bit older.

I’d like to read this book to see if it is something that might be good for a friend’s 14-yr old daughter to read who went thru something similar with her father.
