Dear Miss Metropolitan / by Ferrell, Carolyn,author.;
"Dear Miss Metropolitan tells the fragmented story of Fern, Gwinnie, and Jesenia, three girls abducted by a monster who calls himself Boss Man and held captive in a decaying house in Queens for a decade. Inspired by real events, the tale is inventively revealed by multiple narrators before, during and after their ordeal. Documents, newspapers, excerpts from books, photographs, interviews, and other forms of media piece together the larger story. By the time they are rescued only two of them remain and in their aftermath the "victim females" are subjected to the further trauma of becoming symbols as the survivors, now patients in a facility, continue to adapt to their present and their unrelenting past.

The choice / by Lake, Alex,author.;
A kidnap ... a ransom ... a choice. Matt Westbrook only turned his back for a moment. But when he looks around, his car--with his three young children inside--has vanished. Panicked, Matt assumes a car thief has got more than he bargained for, but then he starts to receive text messages: "This is a kidnap. If you want to see your children again, you will exchange them for your wife." Matt and his wife Annabelle are horrified. They can't involve the police, or their children will be killed. Which means they have to choose: Annabelle, or their children. Either option is unthinkable. But one is inevitable. And they have only hours to make their decision.
