'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.
