This is a work of nonfiction. We have drawn from a number of sources—including journals, correspondences, media reports, interviews, and transcripts of recorded conversations and other communications with investigators, negotiators, and kidnappers. It is also a memoir, which is to say that the story reflects Amanda’s recollections and interpretations of events. Dialogue has been re-created from memory. We have changed the names of a few characters and compressed timelines or omitted details in places. The English passages from the Koran are taken from translations by H.M. Shakir and Abdullah Ali Yusuf. Any dollar amounts are referring to U.S. currency, unless otherwise noted.
