Written with exclusive diary entries and investigative reporting by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists, this powerful memoir offers an intimate look at resilience and survival, earning a 4.7-star rating from nearly 8,000 readers. ## Description 'We have written here about terrible things that we never wanted to think about again . . . Now we want the world to know: we survived, we are free, we love life.' On May 6, 2013, Amanda Berry made headlines around the world when she fled a Cleveland home and called 911, saying: “Help me, I’m Amanda Berry . . . I’ve been kidnapped, and I’ve been missing for ten years.” A horrifying story rapidly unfolded. Ariel Castro, a local school bus driver, had separately lured Berry and two other young women, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, to his home, where he trapped them and kept them chained. In the decade that followed, the three girls were frequently raped, psychologically abused and threatened with death if they attempted to escape. Years after she was taken, Berry had a daughter by their captor, a child she bravely raised as normally as possible under impossible conditions. Drawing upon their recollections and the secret diary kept by Amanda Berry, Berry and Gina DeJesus describe the unimaginable torment they suffered and the strength and resourcefulness that enabled them to survive. Pulitzer Prize–winning Washington Post reporters Mary Jordan and Kevin Sullivan interweave the events within Castro’s house with original reporting on the efforts to find the missing girls. The full story behind the headlines – including details never previously released on Castro’s life and motivations – Hope is a harrowing yet inspiring chronicle of two women whose courage and ingenuity ultimately delivered them back to their lives and families. Review: Moving and powerful book - As someone who struggles to keep interest and read books to the end.. I finished this one surprisingly quickly It was very moving and powerful and gave such deep insight into the nightmares these girls endured but also highlighted their strength and drive during their captivity and after their escape. So many true crime books focus on the perpetrators however the accounts of the victims is much more powerful to understand the true nature of these monsters. Would definitely recommend to anyone to read this. Review: There’s always hope - This book held my attention on every page. A amazing story of reality where, at any time, life could be lost forever. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 290,410 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3,229 in Biographies about Medical, Legal & Social Sciences 7,553 in Historical Biographies (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 7,885 Reviews | ## Images ![Hope: A Memoir of Survival - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CMmIx+vaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Moving and powerful book *by A***8 on 1 July 2023* As someone who struggles to keep interest and read books to the end..
