ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"A House in the Sky" by Amanda Lindhout and Sara Corbett is a memoir that chronicles Amanda's journey from a young, adventurous traveler to a hostage in Somalia. Fueled by her fascination with National Geographic and the desire to see the world, Amanda embarks on a series of solo trips. Her travels eventually lead her to war torn areas, where she is kidnapped and held captive for 15 months. The book details her harsh experiences in captivity, where she and her fellow hostage, Nigel, endure brutal treatment, isolation, and constant uncertainty. It explores her intense struggle to maintain hope and connection through creative methods of communication, reading, and religious study. The narrative highlights themes of resilience, the power of human connection, the search for meaning amidst suffering, and the stark realities of war and its impact.
