Maggie Mitchell: Pretty Is, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Lois and Carly-May are just twelve years old when they're abducted, driven across the country, and imprisoned in a remote hunting lodge for two months. That summer, under the watchful gaze of their kidnapper, they form a bond which will never be broken . . .Decades later, both girls have built new lives and identities for themselves. Lois, a professor of literature, is shaken when an obsessive and disturbing student begins to remind her of the man who kidnapped her, a man she saw shoot himself on the porch twenty years before. To process her past, she begins to write. Out in LA, Carly-May is drinking too much and watching her beauty-queen looks fade, clinging to the last remnants of her career as an actress. When she reads a shockingly familiar screenplay, she warily she takes a role she knows is based on events from her own life. Increasingly haunted by the devastating experience that shaped both their lives, Lois and Carly-May are drawn together once more.
