Publisher Description:

When Jane Elliott was four years old, the nightmare began. She became the helpless victim of a sociopath--bullied, dominated, and sexually abused by a man only fourteen years her senior: her stepfather. For nearly two decades she was held prisoner, both physically and emotionally. But at the age of twenty-one she escaped . . . and then she fought back.

The Little Prisoner is the shocking, astonishing, and ultimately uplifting true story of one woman's shattering twenty-year ordeal--and how she triumphed against an evil and violent human monster when honesty and bravery were her only weapons.


Contributor Bio(s): Elliott, Jane: -

Jane Elliott is a pseudonym. The author first decided to tell her story to the police after taking inspiration from Dave Pelzer's powerful memoir A Child Called It and becoming convinced that she could no longer remain a silent victim of the stepfather who had kept her a virtual prisoner for so many years.
