Bodacious

Gifted and talented in many ways, Sara Loomis, twenty-six, has learned to accept her one glaring inadequacy: her sexual repression. Kidnapped during the robbery of a convenience store in the Ozark Mountains on Halloween, Sara is terrified that the hillbillies will carry out their threat to rape and murder her. Instead, she is delivered to Bo, a reclusive, mute mountain man who, one captor assures, will murder her humanely. But while Bo, the silent caretaker, does not murder Sara, neither does he heed her pleas to return her to civilization. Sara is further frustrated when her escape attempts are thwarted by her own stupidity and cowardice. Over twelve days, Sara grudgingly begins to understand and even respect Bo s primitive lifestyle. Gradually, this unlikely maestro arouses passion which stimulates and frightens his prisoner, intensifying her need to escape. In those attempts, Sara inadvertently puts herself in one life-threatening situation after another.
