Hope: A Memoir of Survival in Cleveland

Hope: A Memoir of Survival in Cleveland

The #1Â New York TimesÂ Bestseller

A bestsellingÂ book that isÂ inspiring the nation: â€œWe have written here about terrible things that we never wanted to think about again . . . Now we want the world to know:Â we survived, we are free, we love life.â€

Two women kidnapped by infamous Cleveland school-bus driver Ariel Castro share the stories of their abductions, captivity, and dramatic escape
Â
On May 6, 2013, Amanda Berry made headlines around the world when she fled a Cleveland home and called 911, saying: â€œHelp me, Iâ€™m Amanda Berry. . . . Iâ€™ve been kidnapped, and Iâ€™ve been missing for ten years.â€
Â
A horrifying story rapidly unfolded. Ariel Castro, a local school bus driver, had separately lured Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight to his home, where he kept them chained. In the decade that followed, the three were raped, psychologically abused, and threatened with death. Berry had a daughterâ€”Jocelynâ€”by their captor.
Â
Drawing upon their recollections and the diary kept by Amanda Berry, Berry and Gina DeJesus describe a tale of unimaginable torment, and Pulitzer Prizeâ€“winning Washington Post reporters Mary Jordan and Kevin Sullivan interweave the events within Castroâ€™s house with original reporting on efforts to find the missing girls. The full story behind the headlinesâ€”including details never previously released on Castroâ€™s life and motivationsâ€”Hope is a harrowing yet inspiring chronicle of two women whose courage, ingenuity, and resourcefulness ultimately delivered them back to their lives and families.
