When Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped, the entire nation held its breath. In truth, a lot of people figured after a while that we’d never find her alive. That’s just not how it goes when young girls are kidnapped, or so it seems.
However, she was recovered. She was found and returned to her family after a horrific ordeal.
In truth, few can relate to what Smart went through, even most other kidnapping and rape survivors. Yet Smart not only survived, but she’s also now trying to take steps to help make sure no one else becomes a victim.
