A House in the Sky

A House in the Sky

by Amanda Lindhout

Amanda Lindhout's journey takes her from a turbulent childhood through numerous globe-trotting adventures, to a career as a fledgling television reporter in conflict-ridden regions. Driven by her desire to live a significant life and understand the world, her path leads her to the notorious landscape of Somalia. Her exploration, however, is cut brutally short when she's kidnapped just four days into her visit. 'A House in the Sky' recounts the 460 harrowing days of Amanda's captivity. Through it all, Amanda survives by mentally escaping to a 'house in the sky', where her spirit remains unbroken and eager to live despite the chains and darkness that hold her in the physical world. Her extraordinary resilience and capacity for hope is a testament to the strength of the human spirit facing unimaginable adversity.
