Little Girl Gone
Little Girl Gone
Overview
"Campbell's powerful novel explores the depth of depravity cloaked as charity and the ability to take a leap of faith and change the direction of one's life. This compelling story will stay with you long after the book is finished."—Monsters and Critics onLittle Girl Gone"Campbell writes with deceptive simplicity all the more impressive for the psychological currents simmering below the surface of a barren terrain. Lives made vulnerable by accommodation to loneliness are caught in the web of one man's madness, the rugged landscape a bleak canvas for all manner of bad decisions. But fate intervenes on behalf of Brock's prisoners, a life-long lie is revealed, a boy's fantastical tale proved true, and the frayed connections between a mother and daughter mended in a novel that celebrates the power of friendship and the freedom to make one's own choices."—www.curledup.com"Campbell's latest has full-blown appeal for teen readers, echoing stories of abduction in the news (a là Jaycee Dugard, and her memoirA Stolen Life) or popular fiction (think of Emma Donoghue's Alex Award-winningRoom)."—---Library Journal"Little Girl Gonepeers insightfully into the lives of people easily written off as monsters. With an economy of style, vivid details, and grace of expression, Drusilla Campbell has written a novel well worth staying up late to keep reading."—Laurel Corona, author of PENELOPE'S DAUGHTER and FINDING EMILIE"When is the last time you cheered out loud for a character in a novel? That's what I did as I read Drusilla Campbell'sLittle Girl Gone. The complex relationships between Campbell's richly drawn characters took me on a psychological roller coaster that tested my expectations, my values, and my heart. This story of tension and triumph is a perfect bookclub selection. Don't miss it!"—Diane Chamberlain, bestselling author ofThe Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes"Nobody gets to the marrow of human flaws and frailties better than Drusilla Campbell. In LITTLE GIRL GONE you are immersed in the lives of people you think you'll never meet and come to care deeply about what happens to each of them. This is a compelling story that won't leave you alone even after you've turned the last page."—Judy Reeves, Author of A WRITER'S BOOK OF DAYS"An unflinching portrayal of life in emotional and physical captivity, "Little Girl Gone" is also a disturbing peek at the underbelly of society. The novel examines what it means to be a savior, in reality and delusion.... Campbell has a powerfully understated voice and resists the easy path of sensationalizing the story with prurient details simply to shock. Instead she provides authentic drama rich with complex psychological composition. The result is a novel that is hard to read, but even harder to put down."—San Diego Union Tribune"Drusilla Campbell is a long time writer with several books in print. She is very talented in winding stories with strong women finding their voices. She proves that she knows what she is doing withLittle Girl Gone."—ChaptersandChats.com"Drusilla Campbell uses lyrical descriptions of the desert setting to make each character's loneliness more atmospheric."—Newark Star Ledger"Campbell beautifully captures the raw and stark reality of Madora's life while building tension and suspense towards a climactic ending.Little Girl Goneis a fantastic exploration into domestic violence and the power of courage in the face of tragedy."—BookFinds"Resist the urge to turn the page to find out what happens next. Linger, instead, to savor the skillfully crafted writing."—Judy Reeves, author ofWriting Alone, Writing Togetheron WILDWOOD"The pull of family and career, the limits of friendship and the demands of love all come to vivid life inWildwood."—Susan Vreeland, author ofGirl in Hyacinth Blueon WILDWOOD"The story will make you ache for these two women who are bound inextricably and irrevocably by their shared past."—Bestselling author T. Greenwood on THE GOOD SISTER"With unflinching honesty, Drusilla Campbell explores the emotional complexities between sisters and mothers, and just how far we will go to hurt and help each other. Poignant and intense."—Ellen Newmark, author ofThe Book of Unholy Mischiefon THE GOOD SISTER"Campbell burns through Simone's struggles and those of Roxanne in haunting, graphic detail. Should be on everyone's book club list."—Publisher's Weeklyon THE GOOD SISTER"Strong and touching." -PublishersWeekly—Publishers WeeklyDescription
