AND THE GIRL WHO ESCAPED WITH HER LIFE. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the fall of 2010, in the all-American town of Apple Valley, Ohio, four people disappeared without a trace: Stephanie Sprang; her friend, Tina Maynard; and Tina's two children, thirteen-year-old Sarah and eleven-year-old Kody. Investigators began scouring the area, yet despite an extensive search, no signs of the missing people were discovered. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn the fourth day of the search, evidence trickled in about neighborhood \"weirdo\" Matthew Hoffman. A police SWAT team raided his home and found an extremely disturbing sight: every square inch of the place was filled with leaves and a terrified Sarah Maynard was bound up in the middle of it like some sort of perverted autumn tableau. But there was no trace of the others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen came Hoffman's confession to an unspeakable crime that went beyond murder and defied all reason. His tale of evil would make Sarah's survival and rescue all the more astonishing--a compelling tribute to a young girl's resilience and courage and to her fierce determination to reclaim her life in the wake of unimaginable wickedness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berkley Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780425258828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 4.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Robert Scott, Sarah Maynard, Larry Maynard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637159260316,"sku":"9780425258828","price":9.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_29a65d91-cf4f-4c3d-a745-364c818c7ae4.jpg?v=1603844059","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-girl-in-the-leaves-9780425258828","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
