At the age of nineteen, working as a cocktail waitress, she began saving her tips so she could travel the globe. Aspiring to understand the world and live a significant life, she backpacked through Latin America, Laos, Bangladesh, and India, and emboldened by each adventure, went on to Sudan, Syria, and Pakistan. In war-ridden Afghanistan and Iraq she carved out a fledgling career as a television reporter. And then, in August 2008, she traveled to Somalia--\"the most dangerous place on earth.\" On her fourth day, she was abducted by a group of masked men along a dusty road. Held hostage for 460 days, Amanda survives on memory--every lush detail of the world she experienced in her life before captivity--and on strategy, fortitude, and hope. When she is most desperate, she visits a house in the sky, high above the woman kept in chains, in the dark. Vivid and suspenseful, this gripping survival memoir is \"a searingly unsentimental account. Ultimately it is compassion--for her naïve younger self, for her kidnappers--that becomes the key to Lindhout's survival\" (O, The Oprah Magazine).\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"House in the Sky | Amanda Lindhout | Paperback | 9781451645613 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks H 1769690","offer_id":49518351712408,"sku":"1769690","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71oFv92PScL.jpg?v=1784621398","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/house-in-the-sky","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
