Mellissa Fung
In October 2008, Mellissa Fung, a reporter for CBCâ€™s ,The National,, was leaving a refugee camp outside of Kabul when she was kidnapped by armed men. She was forced to hike for several hours through the mountains until they reached a village; there, the kidnappers pushed her towards a hole in the ground. â€œNo,â€ she said. â€œI am not going down there.â€,For more than a month, Fung lived in that hole, which was barely tall enough to stand up in, nursing her injuries, praying and writing in a notebook. ,Under an Afghan Sky, is the gripping tale of Fungâ€™s days in captivity, surviving on cookies and juice, from the â€œgrabâ€ to her eventual release.
