  <default_description>&lt;I&gt;Once upon a time I was a little girl who disappeared.
Once upon a time my name was not Alice.
Once upon a time I didn't know how lucky I was.&lt;/i&gt;

When Alice was ten, Ray took her away from her family, her friends -- her life. She learned to give up all power, to endure all pain. She waited for the nightmare to be over.

Now Alice is fifteen and Ray still has her, but he speaks more and more of her death. He does not know it is what she longs for. She does not know he has something more terrifying than death in mind for her.

This is Alice's story. It is one you have never heard, and one you will never, ever forget.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Wow... I’m having a hard time finding adequate words to express how I felt reading this novel, if there even are any. It is such a haunting and unforgettable story.  I think I will find that even though I have finished this book, it’s going to linger with me for some time. <br/><br/><em>Living Dea...</em><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75279029">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this story in one day not because I was in love with it, rather because I needed it to end. Don't take this the wrong way. It was a good book, but the subject matter made me uncomfortable and sick to my stomach. I know that this happens to kids, both boys and girls, all over the world.

    <body><![CDATA[This is not a bad book at all.  While the vaguely similar The Lovely Bones is better, this is well-written and compelling.  A fifteen year old girl, who's been held captive by a pedophile since she was ten, is getting too big for him, and he enlists her to select her replacement.
