Elizabeth Smart has a book out, about her kidnapping. "My Story".
I think that this young woman deserves the utmost respect for her experience and resiliency. I like how she refuses to be defined as a "victim", and wants to help others. Kudos to her.
Agreed. I watched her interview on 20/20 Friday night. She took Meredith Vieira to the places she was held captive and described everything in such detail - I can only imagine how painful it is to revisit those memories. She seems very well adjusted now and I am much impressed by her composure and poise. She is a beautiful young woman with such an inner beauty and strength. I am happy for her that she survived, and finally has found a young man to share her life with - and she indicated they will be starting a family of their own.
I have a great deal of respect for her. I wish her nothing but the best.
Sometimes, though the incongruities of life look one right in the face. I think of the terrible abuse she endured. Yet, today she is a celebrity of sorts. She went from the worst that life has to offer to some of its best. If she is not a millionaire already, her book will make her one. I don't suspect she will ever have to work. Most of her life in the near future--at least--is going to be about speaking and writing.
Sometimes, real life is more amazing than any fiction could be.
My husband read this. He said she seems remarkably well adjusted and has not gone through therapy. I find that so amazing, and hopeful.
