With the tension of a thriller and the heart of a deeply personal memoir, Lauren shares not only how she was kidnapped—but how she found her way back to hope, faith, and forgiveness. Her story is both haunting and beautiful. It brought me to tears in the best way.” – Holly Worthington, The Miracle Files Podcast“Wow. Stolen is thrilling but also incredibly poignant. And the women in this story! Their faith and courage are so inspiring! From a childhood abduction in Jordan to a daring rescue and the emotional aftermath that followed, this story grips you with suspense and leaves you changed by its honesty and grace. A remarkable true story of courage, loss, and redemption.” – Emily Jones, The Miracle Files Podcast“This captivating tale of Cathy and Lauren’s journey, narrated in the manner of an internationally intriguing novel, is no work of fiction. And we know, because we were there. Lauren meticulously documented the trials and turns of being stolen and rescued through the love of a mother, heroism of strangers, tenacity, and Christian faith. Truly a spellbinding effort from a freshman author.” – Rick and Beverly Lambert, close family friends who walked this journey firsthand“Stolen is a breathtaking testimony of God’s relentless pursuit, a mother’s fierce love, and the power of forgiveness to heal even the deepest wounds. Lauren’s story is both harrowing and hope filled, reminding readers that no trauma is beyond redemption and no past is too broken for God to restore.” – Shannon Stewart, America’s Next Top Model finalist and podcast host“Lauren tells her harrowing story with honesty and grace, showing how God miraculously brought her through abduction, fear, and her father’s wounds into a life marked by forgiveness and hope. Her life is living proof that with God all things are possible!” – Julie Busler, author of Hopeful Sorrow: Turning to God in Hope When Childhood Wounds Have You Turning Away
