See the pain, the struggle and the triumph of Elizabeth Smart.
An Innocent Young Girl
Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, Elizabeth Ann Smart was the second-oldest child of Edward and Lois Smart. She had four brothers and one sister, with whom she shared a bedroom. She was a student at Bryant Middle School and was doing exceptionally well. In fact, she was not only on the track team, she was also an amazing harp player and joined in a number of recitals. But little did she know her entire life was going to come crashing down.
