Two women kidnapped by infamous Cleveland school-bus driver Ariel Castro share the stories of their abductions, captivity, and dramatic escape
On May 6, 2013, Amanda Berry made headlines around the world when she fled a Cleveland home and called 911, saying: āHelp me, Iām Amanda Berry. . . . Iāve been kidnapped, and Iāve been missing for ten years.ā
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 daughterāJocelynāby their captor.
Drawing upon their recollections and the diary kept by Amanda Berry, Berry and Gina DeJesus describe a tale of unimaginable torment, and Pulitzer Prizeāwinning Washington Post reporters Mary Jordan and Kevin Sullivan interweave the events within Castroās house with original reporting on efforts to find the missing girls. The full story behind the headlinesāincluding details never previously released on Castroās life and motivationsāHope is a harrowing yet inspiring chronicle of two women whose courage, ingenuity, and resourcefulness ultimately delivered them back to their lives and families.
