Description

Recounts the ordeal of Colleen Stan all through her seven-year captivity and sexual slavery in the hands of Cameron and Janice Hooker and details the court case that followed.
Some may find it incredible that a 20-year-old Oregon woman could be enslaved by a sexual sadist for seven years–that even after having the ability to move freely all through the day, she would allow him to lock her into a wooden box every night. Perhaps it is a minor failing of this book that the authors do not elaborate on the psychology that made her the sort of “perfect victim.” In other respects, though, the story is well told, with an impressive accumulation of details: the woman’s capture, the tortures she endured, the brainwashing techniques, the fiendish contraptions her captor constructed, the slave contract he made her sign, and the more and more strained relations within the bizarre family that included master, slave, wife, and child, all inside a single-wide trailer. As well-known attorney and writer Vincent Bugliosi writes, “A gripping and disturbing story of the name of the game life of it seems that normal people. At once, horrific and engrossing.”
