American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst
On February 4, 1974, Patty Hearst, a sophomore in college and heiress to the Hearst family fortune, was kidnapped by a ragtag group of self-styled revolutionaries calling itself the Symbionese Liberation Army. The already sensational story took the first of many incredible twists on April 3, when the group released a tape of Patty saying she had joined the SLA and had adopted the nom de guerre “Tania.”
In this contemporary story, four American teenage musicians are invited to one of the most prestigious music awards and expect to have the time of their lives. However, an unexpected twist at the start of their journey turns their trip to New York into one full of action, excitement and suspense. Well-rounded, modern and likeable characters take the readers by the hand and lead them into a world of fun and adventure.
