Lauren Burns had resigned herself to the possibility that she would never see her mother again.
Three months after her father took her from Texas to Jordan when she was 7 years old, Burns was sitting on a school bus on her way to class when a commotion erupted outside. Then, through the window, she saw a face she knew: her mother.
Nearly four decades later, Burns, now 46 and a wife and mother living in San Antonio, Texas, is telling the full story of her abduction, rescue and decades-long journey toward healing in Stolen: A True Story — Kidnapped, Rescued, Redeemed, released by Post Hill Press with a foreword by Grammy Award-winning country artist Miranda Lambert.
