Publisher's summary

You're not going home. You're not going anywhere. You're mine now.

Growing up in a deeply troubled family, 15-year-old Anna felt lost and alone in the world. So when a friendly taxi driver befriended her, Anna welcomed the attention, and agreed to go home with him to meet his family. She wouldn't escape for over a decade.

Held captive by a sadistic pedophile, Anna was subjected to despicable levels of sexual abuse and torture. The unrelenting violence and degradation resulted in numerous miscarriages, and the birth of four babies.... each one stolen away from Anna at birth.

Her salvation arrived 13 years too late, but despite her shattered mind and body, Anna finally managed to flee. This is her harrowing, yet uplifting, true story of survival.

Contains mature themes.

So very disappointed in the author

To hear her story of survival and her still not going to the police to potentially stop this from happening to anyone else was the biggest let down for me. The story grips you from the start. .. I’m glad she got out. But that man is still free ..smh.

Amazing Resilience

What an amazing person to endure what Anna did. Sally is also a hero for saving her. Jamie’s love is what most dream of. May they live in love and raise their children in a long and beautiful life. Anna, thank you for sharing your story and my Malik and his family get exactly what they deserve. A life in prison being raped!!

Strong and brave

This is a fantastic book about will, strength, and courage. It’s also a story of horrific abuse and mind games. One person can make a difference!!

Secret Slave is Truly Horrific

As much as I loved this skillfully written book my heart aches listening to Anna’s time in captivity. Just when I thought it was as awful as it could possibly get it would hit another low. It has definitely opened my eyes to the abuse suffered at the hands of Pakistani (and many middle eastern) Men. The abuse was palpable listening to it. I’m so glad Anna got out but I’m sad for all the girls and women still suffering at the hands of these monsters.

My heart….

This book…. This tragedy… at the end of the accounting I wanted to reach out and give the author any support I could. What a strong spirit, what a fighter. As painful as it was to hear, I was glad to understand that it was cathartic for her to write and wish her and her family all the blessings on her journey forward.

Not for faint of heart

Wow!!! Well written and narrated. I cried a lot. Very graphic and may be offensive at times so may not be good for the faint of heart
