Isäpuolen vankina, E-bok
Jane Elliott kantaa kauheaa salaisuutta. Hänestä on tullut jo nelivuotiaana isäpuolensa orja. Isäpuoli alistaa, tyrannisoi sekä käyttää Janea seksuaalisesti hyväkseen. 17 vuoden ajan Jane joutuu elämään painajaismaisissa oloissa isäpuolensa vankina. Kun Jane 21-vuotiaana lopulta onnistuu pakenemaan isäpuolensa luota, hän päättää aloittaa uuden elämän rakastamansa miehen ja kahden lapsensa kanssa. Seuraavien vuosien ajan Jane perheineen joutuu kuitenkin elämään piilossa ennen kuin hän löytää tarpeeksi rohkeutta mennäkseen poliisin puheille.Juuri kukaan ei uskalla todistaa, kuinka kauhea ja väkivaltainen psykopaatti Janen isäpuoli on ollut. Oikeudenkäynnin tulos riippuu vain siitä, uskooko tuomioistuin Janen sydäntäraastavan tarinan.

Jane
Jane tells the spectral story of the life and death of Maggie Nelson s aunt Jane, who was murdered in 1969 while a first-year law student at the University of Michigan. Though officially unsolved, Jane s murder was apparently the third in a series of seven brutal rape-murders in the area between 1967 and 1969. Nelson was born a few years after Jane s death, and the narrative is suffused with the long shadow her murder cast over both the family and her psyche. Jane explores the nature of this haunting incident via a collage of poetry, prose, dream-accounts, and documentary sources, including local and national newspapers, related true crime books such as The Michigan Murders and Killer Among Us, and fragments from Jane s own diaries written when she was 13 and 21. Its eight sections cover Jane s childhood and early adulthood, her murder and its investigation, the direct and diffuse effect of her death on Nelson s girlhood and sisterhood, and a trip to Michigan Nelson took with her
