I saw Eliz Smart on the magazine cover too, and part of me wanted to buy it and read about her trauma. But then, the supermarket media tabloids are not necessarily going to tell the public exactly what Elizabeth said about her experience. They want to sell magazines, not tell the real truth. The whole kidnapping thing was surreal, and so I don't think that she will ever be 'over it' any more than any other person so young and vulnerable would be able to go through brainwashing and recover. A whole lot depends on what your definition of 'recover' is.

If she writes a book and the book is not edited to boost sensationalism, it may not sell. Does the public want to hear that she has PTSD and how, in detail, she is suffering from fear of strangers, religious fanaticism, and who knows what other triggers? These are the same mags that claim every other week that Angelina and Brad are breaking up. Wait a few months, and they will say that Brad stole the new babies and ran away to Zimbabwe with his ex-girlfriend or some shit like that. And he was transported to Zimbabwe by aliens in a silver flying saucer. Too bad the saucer pilot doesn't speak French or English, or the tabloids could interview him for the cover in September.

Don't believe what those magazines say to sell mags. If you buy them, check your common sense at the door, and read them for entertainment only, not for the facts.
