Non-Fiction Memoir
For the first time, ten years after her abduction from her
Salt Lake City bedroom, Elizabeth Smart reveals how she
survived and the secret to forging a new life in the wake of
a brutal crime
On June 5,
2002, fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Smart, the daughter
of a close-knit Mormon family, was taken from her home in
the middle of the night by religious fanatic, Brian David
Mitchell and his wife, Wanda Barzee. She was kept
chained, dressed in disguise, repeatedly raped, and told she
and her family would be killed if she tried to
escape. After her rescue on March 12, 2003, she
rejoined her family and worked to pick up the pieces of her
life.
Now for the first time, in her
memoir, MY STORY, she tells of the constant fear
she endured every hour, her courageous determination to
maintain hope, and how she devised a plan to manipulate her
captors and convinced them to return to Utah, where she was
rescued minutes after arriving. Smart explains
how her faith helped her stay sane in the midst of a
nightmare and how she found the strength to confront her
captors at their trial and see that justice was
served.
In the nine years after her rescue, Smart
transformed from victim to advocate, traveling the country
and working to educate, inspire and foster change. She has
created a foundation to help prevent crimes against children
and is a frequent public speaker. In 2012, she
married Matthew Gilmour, whom she met doing mission work in
Paris for her church, in a fairy tale wedding that made the
cover of People magazine.
