Groomed and procured by a woman, raped by several men and labelled 'one of the most abused girl in Rotherham', now Elizabeth Harper is fighting for answers as to why so many people paid to protect our children simply turned a blind eye. Aged just 15, lonely and bullied by her peers, Elizabeth 'El' Harper felt like an outcast. But then a chance encounter in the street with a friendly woman suddenly brought hope to her world. A friendship between El and this benevolent stranger blossomed, and life began to feel worth living again. As the months passed, El grew more and more distant from her family. One day, she didn't return home to her parents at all ... Snatched is the shocking true story of how a young girl was taken from the streets and groomed into Britain's biggest sex-trafficking ring, all at the hands of a woman. It is also an inspiring account of how trauma can turn vulnerability to strength in the most extraordinary of ways.

Without a specific religion to provide structure and offer guidance, it is difficult to create a spiritual discipline much less practice one. Even those who go to church and synagogue appreciate suggestions as to how they can help their spirituality overlap with their everyday existence. Responding to this longing, Elizabeth Neeld offers a primer-packed with ideas and inspirational recommendations for creating stillness and soul-tending devotion in daily living. -Gail Hudson Amazon.com Editorial Review Neeld reveals some absolute gems of wisdom, gives encouragement when needed, understands every kind of skepticism, and ultimately leads the reader to a totally doable spiritual practice, all with a style that respects that which is sacred and that which is academic. Few books have bridged this gap so beautifully and as succinctly as this one. -NAPRA Review This thought-provoking book is worth taking to bed each night or using for morning devotions. -Dallas Morning News
