Kidnapped. Imprisoned. Tortured. Now Jane is free, but her nightmare is far from over.Bestselling author Laurie Faria Stolarz's thrilling novel Jane Anonymous, now adapted as a fiction podcast series from FictionZ and Apple starring Mina Sindwall (Lost in Space), is a revelatory confessional of a seventeen-year-old girl's fight to escape a kidnapper—and her struggles to connect with loved ones and a life that no longer exists.Seven months.That's how long I was kept captive. Locked in a room with a bed, refrigerator, and adjoining bathroom, I was instructed to eat, bathe, and behave. I received meals, laundered clothes, and toiletries through a cat door, never knowing if it was day or night. The last time I saw the face of my abductor was when he dragged me fighting from the trunk of his car. My only solace was Mason—one of the other kidnapped teens—and our pact to one day escape together. But when that day finally came, I had to leave him behind.Now that I'm home, my parents and friends want everything to be like it was before I left. But they don't understand that dining out and shopping trips can't heal what's broken inside me. I barely leave my bedroom. Therapists are clueless and condescending. So I start my own form of therapy—but writing about my experience awakens uncomfortable memories, ones that should've stayed buried.When I ask the detectives assigned to my case about Mason, I get an answer I don't believe—that there were no traces of any other kidnapped kids. But I distinctly remember the screams, holding hands with Mason through a hole in my wall, and sharing a chocolate bar. I don't believe he wasn't really there and I'm determined to find him. How far will I have to go to uncover the truth of what happened—and will it break me forever?

"I think this was good. the “twist” was kind of predictable if you saw the clues and whatnot but it was still ok nonetheless, I will be reading the sequel"

"I loved it! It was really quite gripping. I was enthralled right from the very first page, and my attention never wavered. I’m thrilled to see that there’s a second novel in the series that was only just released last month, and I can’t wait to read it."

"One of my all time favorites; made me laugh, made me cry, then make me cry harder. Love love love and going to buy a physical copy asap."

"Incredible book! I didn’t expect the plot twist at all and was truly experiencing Jane’s emotions. The only complaint I have is how the author decided to end the book; it almost felt like she was eager to finish the story. I wanted to know the kidnapper’s true intentions, not about a dream Jane had."
