- 1 Want to read
Ingrid Betancourt tells the story of her captivity in the Colombian jungle, sharing powerful teachings of resilience, resistance, and faith. Born in Bogota, raised in France, Ingrid Betancourt gave up a life of comfort and safety to return to Colombia, a country that was being destroyed by terrorism, violence, fear and hopelessness. In 2002, while campaigning as a candidate in the Colombian presidential election, she was abducted by the FARC, a brutal terrorist guerilla organization. This is her deeply personal and moving account of her six-and-a-half year captivity. (Bestseller)
