Sole Survivor

The Inspiring True Story of Coming Face to Face with the Infamous Railroad Killer

De: Holly K. Dunn, Heather Ebert

Narrado por: Hillary Huber

On August 28, 1997, just as she was starting her junior year of college at the University of Kentucky, Holly Dunn and her boyfriend, Chris Maier, were walking along railroad tracks on their way home from a party when they were attacked by notorious serial killer Angel Maturino Resendiz, a.k.a. The Railroad Killer.

After her boyfriend is beaten to death in front of her, Holly is stabbed, raped, and left for dead. In this memoir of survival and healing from a horrific true crime, Holly recounts how she lived through the vicious assault, helped bring her assailant to justice, and ultimately found meaning and purpose through service to victims of sexual assault and other violent crimes, working as a motivational speaker and activist and founding Holly's House, a safe and nurturing space in her hometown of Evansville, Indiana.

Excellent Book!

I heard Holly’s story on the podcast What Was That Like. Once she mentioned she wrote a book I knew I had to have it! She is such an inspiration and one strong lady! She overcame so much with her amazing faith. I definitely recommend this book!

Sole survivor

What an awesome story of heartbreak
,tragedy and healing! God bless you Holly and your family!

Remarkable story

Not only was this story remarkable, the reader had a soothing voice and relayed the story very well.

Pure Strength

What an amazing survivor she is in every single way! I laughed, I cried…I am inspired by all she has accomplished

A story that had to be told…

Such a compelling story that was hard to read, but also had to be told. Holly truly honored Chris by putting her story in writing. It reminds us that true evil exists in the world but so does resiliency and goodness. May his memory live forever and may this memoir bring Holly peace.

Misprounced Senator Duck Lugar’s name

It would be easy to check on the correct pronunciation of an important persons name
Seems sloppy to me

Solid Book — Remarkable Person

Nothing but respect for all the folks touched by this unspeakable Monster. Solid book, solid performance. A little too much girl stuff when describing room interiors, outfits worn, details of the church, etc… Much appreciated the honesty that came through from the author.

Very inspiring story. Detailed account was good. Would have like more details on the other cases, especially how the detectives worked the other cases that were linked to this crime.

Excellent

Holly is amazing! So strong and such an inspiration! I love that her and Jacob ended up getting married and she keeps Chris’ memory alive.

Holly’s God given strength and positivity

A wonderful testament to the miracle of healing from immense trauma, this true story is full of inspiration and hope: A+

Courageous . .

Holly's honest account of her ordeal was riveting and touching....the reader or in this case the listener, will lives every moment and emotion along with her...from the young and real love she felt for Chris to the unimaginable horror of her attack and murder of Chris by her side and through the after math and healing process. The narrators voice was, comforting, bringing the story to life with perfect tone and emotion for the subject mater.
