Elizabeth Smart Instagram – It seems like life somehow always makes it full circle. One of the first people I met after I was rescued was a man named Chris Thomas (@csthomas4 ) at the time I didn’t really understand the roll he played in my family while I was kidnapped, one of the most shocking parts of coming home was the vast amount of attention my story had received and continued to receive I quickly grew to trust Chris and came to look at him as a mentor, friend, and honestly a big brother. He was there the day I came home, he accompanied my family when we were generously offered a reprieve to Hawaii and were able to get away from everything, he helped me when I wrote my first book “My Story” and funnily enough he helped arrange everything for my wedding in Hawaii back in 2012, ultimately he has been a friend and present for almost every major milestone in my life. So as this Sunday marks 20 years since I’ve been rescued I’m happy to be able to help Chris share his story, “Unexpected.” It is now available on Amazon, audible, Barnes and Noble, Target, basically everywhere that sells books. PS I wrote the forward and it’s the best part 😆😉😁
