Books by Elizabeth Harper

Groomed and procured by a woman, raped by several men and labelled 'one of the most abused girl in Rotherham', now Elizabeth Harper is fighting for answers as to why so many people paid to protect our children simply turned a blind eye. Aged just 15, lonely and bullied by her peers, Elizabeth 'El' Harper felt like an outcast. But then a chance encounter in the street with a friendly woman suddenly brought hope to her world. A friendship between El and this benevolent stranger blossomed, and life began to feel worth living again. As the months passed, El grew more and more distant from her family. One day, she didn't return home to her parents at all ... Snatched is the shocking true story of how a young girl was taken from the streets and groomed into Britain's biggest sex-trafficking ring, all at the hands of a woman. It is also an inspiring account of how trauma can turn vulnerability to strength in the most extraordinary of ways.

Inspired in part by classical literature and Scripture, Elizabeth Harper's poems are literate, charged, and demanding in their emotional and intellectual range. Octaves of Narcissus is her first collection of poetry since Games Like Passacaglia.
