Life in Captivity is a story of profound resilience. Eliza’s childhood was fraught with physical and relational challenges, yet somehow her tenacious spirit kept going. Woven within the pain is a path which, as we walk with her, cause us to reflect upon our own journey. That’s the beauty of a good memoir.
— Carol O’Dell, author of Mothering Mother
Written over the course of six years, Life in Captivity is a memoir about the childhood of Eliza Alys Young. Eliza overcame unimaginable challenges. She was the first diagnosed case of Vitamin A toxicity that left her physically handicapped, experienced over 20 surgeries before she turned 18, faced emotional and mental trials when her parents battled for custody, including parental kidnappings, and on September 11, 2001, was just one mile away from the World Trade Center.
Eliza is a testament to resilience and strength. She embodies the spirit of survival and her story will inspire and empower others.
