Description: "In 2002, Rojas, along with Colombian senator Ingrid Betancourt, was kidnapped by the guerrilla organization known as the FARC. Rojas was campaign director for Betancourt's bid for the presidency. For six years, Rojas was held along with Betancourt and other political figures, soldiers, civilians, and three Americans. During captivity, Rojas gave birth to a son by cesarean section in the jungle with the help of a guerrilla nurse who hadn't finished medical school. Rojas attributes her survival to faith and determination in an account that echoes the Ling sisters' recent book on their ordeal, Somewhere Inside"--Booklist.
