Lost Girls: The True Story of the Cleveland Abductions and the Incredible Rescue of Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesu
Lost Girls: The True Story of the Cleveland Abductions and the Incredible Rescue of Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesu | John Glatt
8 posts | 13 read | 11 to read
They were held in brutal captivity--and managed to make it out alive. "This is their story." The Lost Girls are Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus--three innocent young women who were kidnapped, imprisoned, and repeatedly molested and beaten in a Cleveland home basement for over a decade by a depraved man named Ariel Castro. Their incredible escape, in May 2013, made headlines all over the world. "Absorbing a page-turning, detailed overview of this remarkable story." --"Kirkus Reviews" In this up-close-and-personal account--including exclusive interviews with Castro's family members, secret girlfriend, neighbors, and others--veteran investigative journalist John Glatt reveals what it was like as Michelle, Amanda, and Gina DeJesus waited, bound and chained, to be found. Shocking and hearbreaking, "The Lost Girls "is a true-crime tale that no reader will soon forget. "John Glatt is one of the finest true crime craftsmen writing today." --Howard Goldberg, VH1.com With 8 pages of chilling photos"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This wraps up my deep dive into the Cleveland kidnappings. I‘m honestly looking forward to a different headspace, but once engulfed, I felt an obligation to these phenomenal women. This is the most encompassing account I‘ve read, but their individual experiences are not as detailed as they are in HOPE (Berry & DeJesus) and FINDING ME (Knight); which may be good or bad depending on what your heart and mind can handle.

bio_chem06 The entire story is just heart wrenching. I also hate how Michelle Knight seemed never to be able to get close to Gina or Amanda. It‘s like, she couldn‘t even find solace in someone who shares this terrible experience with her. I don‘t know that I‘m as strong as these women. It‘s empowering to say the least. 4y

britt_brooke @bio_chem06 It‘s all so unfathomable. Michelle seemed so have it the hardest, although they all were treated horrifically. 4y
Cinfhen I‘m happy you gave homage to these women by reading their story/ I don‘t think I have the stomach for it. Now you need to read something LIGHT!!!! 4y
britt_brooke @Cinfhen Isn‘t that the truth?! 4y

I remember hearing about when the girls were found but I had never really payed attention or looked further into the story.
John Glatt does an excellent job telling this harrowing story about these absolutely badass, amazingly strong women.

And a few more!! I actually haven't read the tagged book yet but the other books I've read about this case we're pretty good so I have high hopes ( it always seems horrible to say that).

Football practice and reading- this one is difficult reading due to the subject matter so I'm taking long breaks and watching my boys both practice hard. I sure do love this time of year!
