Part One: For Dear Life (Completed) Amber Ryan is 15 years old when she's kidnapped by three teenage boys. She is locked in a tiny room in a cabin deep in the woods with little food and no light. Every day when the three high school seniors come home from school she has to endure different forms of abuse and torture. Hope is the only thing that keeps her going, and Amber knows she has to figure out why they have kept her. Can Amber escape, or will time run out? Part Two: The Unfortunate Truth (Ongoing) Twenty years later, and Amber is living a relatively normal life with her two daughters and her husband. Her lifelong best friend Lindsay, too, has a daughter. Madeline, Louise, and Grace have been taught all their lives to defend themselves in case something like what happened to Amber happens again, so when the three young girls are in trouble, they know the only thing that can save them is themselves. The thrilling second part to For Dear Life is a tale of bravery, love, and most of all, hope.

If you read this book before 9/22/16, and you enjoyed it, I'd recommend reading it again as the second draft has some big differences and ties up a bunch of loose plot holes.*
