Lifetime is set to premiere a new thriller flick, Stolen by Their Father, this weekend. Based on author Lizbeth Meredith’s memoir, it revolves around true events inspired by her life.
The movie’s storyline centered around Meredith, who left no stone unturned to bring her daughters back home. The kids were kidnapped by their father and Meredith’s abusive ex-husband, who threatened to kill her if she made any wrong moves.
The author’s memoir was titled “Pieces of Me: Rescuing My Kidnapped Daughters.” As per Good Reads’ site, the description of the Amazon bestseller book reads:
"Pieces of Me recounts Lizbeth’s struggle to bring home her internationally abducted daughters from Greece to Alaska. It’s the story of a 29 year-old woman whose own life was marked by family violence and childhood kidnapping who then faced her own $100,000 problem on a $10 an hour budget.”
It further states:
“It’s the story of the generous community in Anchorage, Alaska, and of a welcoming community in Greece who joined Lizbeth’s efforts to make the impossible a reality.”
