Publisher Description
The remarkable and shocking true account of the kidnap of Natascha Kampusch in 1998, who shares her deeply moving story.
On 2 March 1998 ten-year-old Natascha Kampusch was snatched off the street by a stranger and bundled into a white van. When she emerged from her prison eight years later, her childhood had gone.
In 3,096 Days Natascha tells her incredible story for the first time: her difficult childhood, the day of her abduction, her imprisonment in a five-square-metre dungeon, and the mental and physical abuse she suffered from her abductor, Wolfgang Priklopil.
A story about the triumph of the human spirit, 3,096 Days describes how, in a situation of almost unbearable hopelessness, she learned how to manipulate her captor and, against inconceivable odds, she managed to escape unbroken.
'A brilliantly insightful dissection of her years in captivity' Jon Ronson, Guardian
'An excellent book' Kathryn Hughes, Mail on Sunday
'Remarkable - not just for Kampusch's account of her ordeal but as a testament to her indomitable spirit' Daisy Goodwin, Sunday Times

A brave account of the horrors that this young woman survived.
The abuse that one adult person can inflict on a young child, is truly disgusting.
While the physical injuries will heal, I hope that the author can overcome the psychological injuries.
Time and only time will heal all wounds.

What a wonderful mature young lady. Such grace and forgiveness under appalling adverse conditions. Stay true to yourself and "Create the Life you want to Live."
