After my grandmother was held hostage, she shocked her small town by declaring that she felt more threatened by the police than by the men holding her hostage - and she wasn't the only woman that year to do so. A thrilling piece of family lore intersects with the famous kidnapping of Patty Hearst and a dramatic bank heist in Sweden in this investigation into the pernicious origins of Stockholm Syndrome.
