Seven Year old Steven Stayner thought it was okay to get in the car with "Reverend" Parnell because the "Reverend" has asked to speak to Steven's mother about church.What happened after that was seven years of being held captive by Parnell.Steven endured abuse so terrible that he forgot his own name.Parnell evaded capture by moving his prisoner from one cheap motel to the next.Finally Steven made a desperate escape with five year old Timmy White,another boy who had recently been abducted by Parnell.**

This isn't stellar literature from a writing perspective, but it's an important story that needed to be told. I'm hoping California state laws for child predators have been updated since the book was published.
