Kindle Notes & Highlights
The sole window is boarded up with plywood, except for a small circle, carved just big enough for an eye, out of which Delilah could see. For eleven years she watched her father mow the lawn, watched Leo toss a ball to Wyatt the dog until he died. She watched flowers bloom and snow fall, but never felt the sun on her skin.
Three days later, the couple that kept Carly captive is found when they stupidly return to their own home. They confess to her kidnapping and captivity. They’ll be going to jail for a long time. She will never need to live in fear of them again. They were copycat criminals, inspired by Delilah’s story. They wanted the same notoriety that Delilah’s captor—Bea—had.
I cry myself to sleep every night. I don’t cry for me. I cry for all the lives Bea shattered.
