ELEVEN DAYS OF HELL is one "Hell" of a story!

ELEVEN DAYS OF HELL by Yvonne Bornstein (Publisher: Authorhouse (October 19, 2004) ISBN: 1418493023) is a brave and inspirational true -life story of International intrigue and personal survival. Author Yvonne Bornstein is a courageous hero because of other courageous heroes. As the author writes "Nothing is impossible when people care enough."

ELEVEN DAYS OF HELL is a true action story of twelve years of nightmares. Yvonne Bornstein bravely shares her true -life tale - eleven days in the hands of Russian mobsters intent on collecting millions of dollars of ransom money. Yvonne recounts with surprising clarity her trials and triumphs in a recent interview. She says, "We were kidnapped 10 minutes after arriving at the Moscow airport. We had been picked up by the Manager of our Moscow office and thought we were being taken to a hotel. Instead we were taken on a different route than on previous trips and ended up at a rickety old Dacha approximately 80 kilometers from the airport. I was dragged by the hair from the car I had been in with my husband, into a second car where I was almost choking from two men who held me tightly with a gun at one side of my neck and a knife at the other."

ELEVEN DAYS OF HELL is one of the best books of the year regarding courage, bravery and 'people who care enough.' From Gerry, the longtime FBI agent and James, the veteran diplomat who feel, "It's all in a days work" to the brilliant and humanist lawyer, Dimitry Afanasiev. It is a a "Miracle" that Yvonne and her former husband (Daniel Weinstock) survived and are alive to tell this story. This is a must read book! If you only read one book this year make sure it is ELEVEN DAYS OF HELL. This is one "Hell" of a book, and everyone should stand up and applaud Yvonne Bornstein for her strength and inspiration for sharing this story with the world. This is a book that teaches us that one must never "give up" and shows us what happens when "people care enough."
