Secret Slave

By: Anna Ruston

Narrated by: Faye Adele

You're not going home. You're not going anywhere. You're mine now.

Growing up in a deeply troubled family, 15-year-old Anna felt lost and alone in the world. So when a friendly taxi driver befriended her, Anna welcomed the attention, and agreed to go home with him to meet his family. She wouldn't escape for over a decade.

Held captive by a sadistic pedophile, Anna was subjected to despicable levels of sexual abuse and torture. The unrelenting violence and degradation resulted in numerous miscarriages, and the birth of four babies.... each one stolen away from Anna at birth.

Her salvation arrived 13 years too late, but despite her shattered mind and body, Anna finally managed to flee. This is her harrowing, yet uplifting, true story of survival.

Contains mature themes.

So very disappointed in the author

To hear her story of survival and her still not going to the police to potentially stop this from happening to anyone else was the biggest let down for me. The story grips you from the start. .. I’m glad she got out. But that man is still free ..smh.

So unbelievably sad, such a satisfying ending

I really hope the author finds it in her to press charges. she's amazing.

Armchair therapist need not leave a review

The number of low star reviews stating that the story is unbelievable because of her severe brainwashing and trama have no idea what they are talking about. Your harsh words are revictimizing someone who spent 13 years in captivity. You call it voluntary captivity because she was too afraid to tell the truth. This is no better than judging domestic violence victims because they 'chose' not to leave.

I sincerely hope none of you ever have to go through the severe gaslighting, manipulation, slow and painful building of complex post traumatic stress disorder.

To the author: for other victims, I hope you can find the bravery to prosecute your tormentors one day. Maybe by sharing your story it is a step in the right direction towards educating the uneducated on just how severe on human exploitation and trafficking is.

I believe you

As a 23 year Crisis Mental Health responder, I know in my soul this is true. I have seen it. I have spoken to other survivors. I am so proud of you for your strength and braveness for telling your story. I believe you little one, I believe you ❤️
