Now a stirring movie from Paramount Pictures - starring Kate Mara (House of Cards and Fantastic Four) and David Oyelowo (Selma) - this inspirational, news-making life tale of the young girl hostage who in 2005 singlehandedly talked the infamous Atlanta courthouse killer, Brian Nichols, into surrendering peacefully by getting his confidence through her prayers and personal trust and by reading passages to him from the Religious blockbuster A Purpose Driven Life. In March 2005 Ashley Smith made headlines around the globe when she miraculously talked her way to avoid it of the hands of alleged courthouse killer Brian Nichols after he took her hostage for seven time in her suburban Atlanta apartment. In this particular moving, inspirational consideration, Ashley shares the details of her distressing ordeal and expands how her trust and the best-selling booklet The Purpose-Driven Life helped her make it through and bring the killer's murderous rampage to a peaceful end. Like her captor, Smith too has experienced darkness and despair. Seeking a new life, she transferred to Atlanta, got a job, signed up for a medical assistant training program, and was starting to find her way to becoming the type of mom she wished her litttle lady to obtain. Then Brian Nichols took her hostage. Just time before he'd allegedly taken to loss of life a judge, a courtroom reporter, a deputy, and a federal agent and escaped in a taken vehicle. Now she found herself in person with Nichols, a anxious, heavily armed man with nothing at all left to reduce. Juxtaposing the minute-by-minute tale of her experience with the tragedies and triumphs of her own life, Captive is a riveting tale that will leave no listener untouched.
