Fung, Mellissa.

Under an Afghan sky : a memoir of captivity / Mellissa Fung. - 1st ed. - Toronto : HarperCollins, c2011. - 358 p. ; 23 cm.

"In October 2008, Mellissa Fung, a reporter for CBC's The National, was leaving a refugee camp outside of Kabul when she was kidnapped by armed men. She was forced to hike for several hours through the mountains until they reached a village; there, the kidnappers pushed her towards a hole in the ground. 'No,' she said. 'I am not going down there.' For more than a month, Fung lived in that hole, which was barely tall enough to stand up in, nursing her injuries, praying and writing in a notebook. Under an Afghan Sky is the gripping tale of Fung's days in captivity, surviving on cookies and juice, from the 'grab' to her eventual release."--Publisher's description.
