''Stolen'' is the number one bestseller from Lesley Pearse. A beautiful young woman is discovered half-drowned on a Sussex beach...Where has she come from? Why can't she remember who she is - or what happened? She's wearing an old-fashioned dress and her hair has been hacked off. She's obviously been bound by the wrists and ankles. But without knowing her own name or who did this to her, she can't begin to piece together who she is and what led her to this unfamiliar place. The police are baffled, but when the doctors examine her they make a shocking discovery: she has recently given birth. Who on earth is she? And where is her baby? ''Stolen'' is a riveting, nail-biting story of a young woman desperately trying to recover her past and make sense of the woman she used to be.
