At age 25, Gloria Londono's life skidded to a terrifying halt when she was kidnapped off the streets of Medellin, Colombia. Held ransom against her will, Gloria did what she needed to stay alive. The repercussions of her choices-and the choices of her family-changed the course of her life forever.
Follow the emotional and empowering true story of a young woman thrust into a horrific ordeal that forced her on a journey of self-discovery and forgiveness. Struggling from the scars of Stockholm Syndrome, depression, and family conflicts, Gloria found herself ensnared by the shadows of past trauma-seeking love in toxic, narcissistic relationships, frozen in fear, and unable to move forward. Only when she faced her deepest fears could she move forward with gratitude.
A memoir of resilience and the power of the human spirit, Flourish in Captivity offers a lifeline to those seeking peace after trauma. Covering core issues around trauma recovery and post-traumatic stress disorder, Gloria advocates for a pathway to forgiveness and presents a blueprint for transformative growth through empathy and self-care. Gripping and honest, Flourish in Captivity guides the reader to break free of the chains of trauma and take empowering steps toward healing.
