She was held captive for three years and nine months in the desert.
Sophie Pétronin was released on October 8, along with three other captives, including the former Malian opponent Soumaila Cissé.
His story is at the center of the book
Just One Hope,
written by journalist Anthony Fouchard, former RFI correspondent in Mali.
A book that tells both the 45 months of captivity of this septuagenarian and the fight of her son to try to get her released.
