\n Former surf star Carmen Greentree has written a book about being held captive in India for two months as a 22-year-old.<\/p>\n

The Australian Greentree, now 37, was a star waverider who spent her youth dreaming of being a world champion and travel<\/a>ing across the globe for competitions. But after failing to qualify for the world tour she took a sabbatical to India where she planned to learn from the Dalai Lama.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got really devastated and lost,\u201d Greentree told 9 News<\/a>. \u201cFor seven years of my life I was 100 percent, morning to night, solely focused on being world champion. Nothing else mattered more than that. It was an escape from life.\u201d<\/p>\n

But her 2004 adventure in the subcontinent quickly became a nightmare when she accepted help from a local in finding her way to Kashmir, in the country\u2019s north. She was taken to a houseboat which became her prison cell for the next two months as her captor sexually abused her repeatedly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe worst feeling was when I gave in and let him take what he wanted,\u201d she told the Daily Mail. \u201cThat was the first time he raped me. I was too tired, I couldn\u2019t fight anymore, and I knew he wasn\u2019t going to stop.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI lost track of how many times he raped me. I\u2019ve blocked it out so much I don\u2019t remember most of (the assaults) anymore.\u2019 I was completely broken, I wasn\u2019t even me anymore. I was existing as a shell.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greentree was made to call her parents in Australia to ask for money and was robbed of thousands of dollars. But the phone calls proved a costly mistake for her captor, because they allowed police to track her location.<\/p>\n

Two men were arrested but never faced charges after Greentree chose not to return to India to testify. Greentree says she has \u201cnothing but compassion and sadness\u201d for the man who raped her and is sharing her story 16 years later as an inspiring message about the power of healing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that so many of us have gone through our own tragic experiences and at times we don\u2019t believe we can heal,\u201d Carmen told 9 News. \u201cI\u2019ve written my book to show how I\u2019ve learnt and how I\u2019ve healed. I want people to read it and hope they can create a good life regardless of what\u2019s happ<\/a>ened.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
