By 2009, she possessed met and hitched the man of her dreams, a local Swede known as Erik Landemalm, who performed to coordinate humanitarian help with local government bodies in Africa.

But on October 25, 2011, Jessica and a male colleague were kidnapped at gunpoint and placed for ransom by an organized strap of Somali land pirates. For another 90 days, Jessica was terrorized by more than two dozen gangsters. She was held outside in filthy conditions and kept on a starvation diet while her health continuously deteriorated. Negotiations for ransom dragged on, and since the ordeal extended into its third month, the captors grew progressively impatient. Every terrifying second Jessica spent troubled in captivity was matched by that of her adoring hubby working behind the moments to deal with her captors. Finally, on January 25, 2012, Leader Barack Obama ordered a rescue procedure with a team of 24 Navy SEALs. The team killed all nine kidnappers, with no harm to the hostages, who had been quickly airlifted from a military recovery helicopter. In riveting fine detail, Impossible Possibilities details Jessica and Erik's mutual trip during those torturous months. Together they relate the events prior to the kidnapping, the theatre of Jessica's struggle to stay alive, and Erik's attempts to bolster and support the hunt for her while he acted as liaison between their two households, the FBI, professional hostage negotiators, and the United States government.
