News of the girls' disappearance dominated the headlines, and the entire country held its breath, praying for their safe return, as a massive police hunt failed to turn up any clues. But then a miracle happened. The girls were found, their abductor was arrested, and the case was closed. But there was to be no such closure for Charlene and Lisa. Their nightmare may have been over, but the nightmares were just beginning. Over the coming years, their friendship was strained to breaking point, as they struggled to reconcile themselves to their painful memories and to each other. Abducted is their astonishing first-hand, insider account of how it feels to be kidnapped, how they survived their horrific ordeal, and how they have found the strength to move on and re-build their lives.

Lisa Hoodles

In 1999 worden de tienjarige Charlene en Lisa op weg naar school in een auto getrokken. Vier dagen lang worden zij gevangengehouden, gemarteld, verkracht en bijna vermoord. Het nieuws over de verdwijning van de meisjes beheerst dagenlang alle media en heel Engeland bidt voor hun veilige terugkeer. Maar dan gebeurt er een wonder: ze worden levend teruggevonden. Hun ontvoerder verdwijnt in de gevangenis en de zaak wordt gesloten. Voor Charlene en Lisa is de zaak echter verre van ten einde. Gedurende de jaren die volgen worstelen ze elk op hun eigen manier met hun pijnlijke herinneringen. Het gebeurde op een dinsdag is het bewonderenswaardige relaas van Charlene en Lisa over hoe het voelt om ontvoerd te zijn, hoe ze die gruwelijke dagen overleefden en hoe zij de kracht vonden om het verleden achter zich te laten en hun leven opnieuw op te bouwen
