Rust & Stardust by T. Greenwood

This is a work of fiction but it is borne of truth - Sally Horner was abducted by a pedophile from her hometown of Camden New Jersey when she was eleven years old. It is a novel of loss - loss of Sally's childhood innocence, of trust in her family coming to her rescue and in those who she felt understood her. It is also a novel of hope - for every person who tried to help her along the way, for her brother-in-law who never gave up following leads and pressuring the police and for the hope that gave Sally courage. It was a parent's greatest fear in 1948 when it happened and it is still their greatest fear today. I'm sure this incredible story of courage will inspire people who think that something is wrong to speak up and act. Beautifully written and incredibly sad, this story gets into your soul and doesn't let go.
