Hachette (Australia) large paperback (stiff card), 2006, 317 pages, illustrated.

Joanne's story is well known but this book, written by herself, not by a ghost writer or (as some have been) by someone who has had no contact with her, but in her own words that convey effectively the terror she experienced at the hands of a kidnapper who had already murdered her boyfriend. The book is illustrated with two sections of full-colour photo plates. Among the photos is one of the home-made handcuffs that kept Joanne's arms locked first behind her back and then, after she had managed to bring them to the front of her body, still locked in front. This was a cruel device designed to be escape-proof and all efforts by Joanne to release herself failed. It required a truckie with tools to finally free her.
