Dear Miss Metropolitan

 Dear Miss Metropolitan is a crime novel written by Carolyn Ferrell. She based her book on the Ariel Castro kidnapping in Ohio. This book is set in New York rather than Ohio but involves three women being kidnapped and tortured by a man in his house for ten years. One of the women has a child. Another woman becomes pregnant repeatedly but the captor, known as "Boss Man," beats her until she miscarries. The story is told by each of the three women, the child (when she is an adult), and one of the neighbors who was a newspaper reporter known as Miss Metropolitan. I enjoyed reading the story about Fern, Gwin, and Jesenia. Their strength and courage and dedication to each other is what helped through the unspeakable tragedy.
