Naked With Only the Will to Survive by Kim Adams Graham

With exquisite features, long brown hair, and bright blue eyes, Lisa Joy Theris didn't look like someone who could survive alone in the wilderness. But for twenty-five days, she wandered the Alabama woods, naked and starving.

Lisa's problems originated in high school, when she began abusing alcohol and Xanax. For the next few years, she struggled to remain clean and sober, only to fall back into drug use and eventually falling in with a group of ice abusers.

Scared when her friends attempted to burglarize a hunting lodge, Lisa fled into the surrounding woods. There her companions found her, drugged her, abused her, and finally abandoned her naked body to the elements.

Her tormentors assumed she would die. Lisa, lost and alone, assumed the same. But instead, a deep will to live kept Lisa going through twenty-five days of hell-and helped her recover afterward.

The remarkable true story of one woman's struggle for life, Naked with Only the Will to Survive is both an inspirational tale of determination and a reminder of the devastating effects of substance abuse. Not everyone could survive what Lisa endured-but she did, and this near-death encounter changed her life.
