Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott

This is one of those books that relates a grim reality of modern life that no one willingly wants to explore. Here we have the experience of “Alice,” an abducted child who has been kept and sexually abused by her captor for over five years. The brutal emotional reality of the situation is captured so absolutely by Scott’s sparse prose that it will leave you nauseous every time you remember the book. This is one of those books you don’t know if you want to read and you aren’t sure if you were glad you read it once done; but you will never forget it.

Books with a similiar feel: We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver, Boy Toy by Barry Lyga, and When Jeff Comes Home by Catherine Atkins.
