In 1954, in a remote mountain village in South America, a little Girl was abducted.
In the vein of Slumdog Millionaire and City of God, this rousing Story of a lost Child who overcomes the dangers of the wild and the brutality of the streets to finally reclaim her life will astonish readers everywhere.. . .
But her harrowing adventure was only beginning .
So begins the Story of her five years among the monkeys, during which time she gradually became feral; she lost the ability to speak, lost all inhibition, lost any real sense of being human, replacing the structure of human society with the social mores of her new simian family.
Acting entirely on instinct, she tried to do what they did: she ate what they ate and copied their actions, and little by little, learned to fend for herself.
Two days later, half-drugged, terrified, and starving, she came upon a troop of capuchin monkeys.
That she survived is a miracle.
Marina Chapman was stolen from her home and then abandoned deep in the Colombian jungle.
She was four years old.
