On March 13, 2012, Jennifer Hurst was walking her dog through her front yard at dusk. A figure emerged from the darkness: "This is a gun, b----. Do what I say or I will f------ kill you." This is the chilling story of her kidnapping and survival. It's a story that travels from Ohio's Amish country to Ohio's prisons to uncover how addiction can ricochet through families. And it's a story about how the best intentions can curdle into tragedy. Above all, it’s a mystery: why, a decade later, can the woman at the heart of this story not stop re-telling it?
