My story- summary

In the book My Story by Elizabeth Smart she goes on telling us her experience of when she was kidnapped and used. She was only 14 at the time and she was put through things we can't even imagine or want to. She was taken by a guy named Brian David Mitchell and by his wife Wanda Brazee, they would abuse her, rape her and kept her chained. They would sometimes have breakfast, lunch and dinner together but in nudity. She would cry but not  loud enough for them to really notice because she wanted to be strong and not weak, she also didn't want to show weakness to them because if she did they would be able to hurt her more. She was taken a couple of places because they didn't have a house and they needed to move around a lot, they lived in a tent most of their life's. Elizabeth had convinced them to go back to Utah, she had said it was gods decision and he would want that for the better. Her plan was to get noticed in her hometown and when they agreed to go back they noticed her quickly even when she was disguised. She had got noticed by this police officer and was asked questions and that's when she said she was Elizabeth Smart. She returned home after nine months and barely told her story because she wasn't that ready to talk about what had happened to her.
