Baby Doll (audio)

You've been held captive in one room, mentally and physically abused every day, since you were sixteen years old.

Then, one night, you realize your captor has left the door to your cell unlocked.

For the first time in eight years, you're free.

This is about what happens next ...

Lily knows that she must bring the man who nearly ruined her life - her good-looking high-school teacher - to justice. But she never imagined that reconnecting with her family would be just as difficult. Reclaiming her relationship with her twin sister, her mother, and her high school sweetheart who is in love with her sister may be Lily's greatest challenge. After all they've been through, can Lily and her family find their way back after this life-altering trauma?

Very little of Lily's captivity is involved in this story  It is mostly the aftermath of her escape when she returns home to her family and discovers what has happened in her absence.  Some of what happened was understandable and believable. Abby's behavior was a bit over the top, but our sense of revenge loved what she does. Jenna Lamia narrated two parts (Lily and Abby) it was hard at times to listen to her narrate as her vocalization was too whiny or too young sounding that it was not believable. Ellen Archer narrated the mother very well.  Macleod Andrews stole the book as he narrated Ricky's psychopathic tenancies perfectly.   Despite some of the issues I had I could not stop listening to this debut novel.
