SOLVED. Book About Woman Who Got Raped/Tortured/Almost Murdered and Survived [s]

[Juliko]

So...I'm looking for a book, but I don't know who the author is. I know it's called I Choose Life, and it's an autobiography or something. The basic premise is that the main character (who is also the writer) was kidnapped as a child — molested, tortured, and almost murdered. Afterwards, one of her main problems was with people trying to make this trauma her permanent identity instead of acknowledging that it was one horrible incident that happened to her, and is now over.

I know there are several books called I Choose Life, but the ones listed here don't come close to being like what I described here, and I don't know who the author is. Would someone like to help me find this book, please? Thanks in advance!

I Survived Ted Bundy: The Attack, Escape & PTSD That Changed My Life possibly?

Or what about Lucky

Do you remember anything about who it was that kidnapped her--well known (like Bundy) or someone who just kidnapped her or only her and one or two other girls?

And the one serial killer that I have "run into" in real life (I was living in the town where he was first identified as a serial killer after he killed 3 little girls) Into the Water He was identified when his last victim was able to get away and sic the police onto him. This was in a different state than I lived in. The town of Fredericksburg, VA was, in many ways still a "small town" despite being turned into a Washington, DC bedroom community. I had ties to the families of the girls killed in Fredericksburg. And saw the little girl who got away after she was grown up. She became a police officer, and came to Fredericksburg to talk to our newly graduated officers there.
