Amy Chelsea Stacie Dee

By: Mary G. Thompson

Narrated by: Emily Ellet

A bittersweet homecoming holds dark secrets in this heart-wrenching story of loss, love, and survival.

When 16-year-old Amy returns home, she can't tell her family what's happened to her. She can't tell them where she's been since she and her best friend, her cousin Dee, were kidnapped six years ago - who stole them from their families or what's become of Dee. She has to stay silent because she's afraid of what might happen next, and she's desperate to protect her secrets at any cost.   

Amy tries to readjust to life at "home", but nothing she does feels right. She's a stranger in her own family, and the guilt that she's the one who returned is insurmountable. Amy soon realizes that keeping secrets won't change what's happened, and they may end up hurting those she loves the most. She has to go back in order to move forward, risking everything along the way. Amy Chelsea Stacie Dee is a riveting, affecting story of loss and hope.

Interesting Young Adult characters.

I don't usually read fiction, preferring memoirs and biographies as a rule, but this story and it's young adult characters held my attention and I listened all the way through.

Wow

One of the best written books I’ve read in a while. Heart wrenching page turner.

Wow!! What a story.

This is good. Its sad but its good. Captivating and heart warming. Coming of age in one of the most saddest ways. No doubt that you will love it. Great writing and great narrating.

Just wow!

From the very beginning I was hooked and the last hour I was a balling wet mess! I couldn’t stop listening and ended up bing listening. Great narrator with the different characters and sometimes creepy voice. Loved it all! Thanks for sharing!

What an interesting read

I’m not sure how I feel about this, it was so weird but also good. Kidnapping stories are always so wild.
