In November 2016, Sherri Papini vanished from her quiet California neighborhood, igniting a media firestorm that painted her as both victim and villain. But behind the sensationalized headlines lay a darker, far more complicated reality-a brutal captivity, corrosive manipulation, and a life unraveled by abuse hidden in plain sight.Now, for the first time, Sherri reveals the harrowing truth behind her ordeal. From the terrifying moments around her staged abduction to the relentless trauma at the hands of her captor, Sherri confronts not only the horrors of her captivity but the toxic control wielded by her husband, Keith, whose emotional cruelty imprisoned her long before her kidnapping made national news.
