- Kristine's book is not new. She wrote the book when she was 8 years old. One weekend she locked herself in her room and typed.

- It was therapeutic because when she was 4 years old, she was abducted by her dad and was in the care of her teenage mistress. There were two attempts to get her back, but the first time was botched. Her mom grabbed her and ran, but her father's mistress got her back because Kristine recognized her.

- Her book comes out Monday and it's not easy for her but we will talk more about it then.
