Publisher Description

The #1 New York Times Bestseller and inspirational memoir by Michelle Knight, whose survival story gripped the world and continues to inspire and offer hope.

Michelle was a young single mother when she was kidnapped by a local school bus driver named Ariel Castro. For more than a decade afterward, she endured unimaginable torture at the hand of her abductor. In 2003 Amanda Berry joined her in captivity, followed by Gina DeJesus in 2004. Their escape on May 6, 2013, made headlines around the world.

Barely out of her own tumultuous childhood, Michelle was estranged from her family and fighting for custody of her young son when she disappeared. Local police believed she had run away, so they removed her from the missing persons lists fifteen months after she vanished. Castro tormented her with these facts, reminding her that no one was looking for her, that the outside world had forgotten her. But Michelle would not be broken.

In Finding Me, Michelle will reveal the heartbreaking details of her story, including the thoughts and prayers that helped her find courage to endure her unimaginable circumstances and now build a life worth living. By sharing both her past and her efforts to create a future, Michelle becomes a voice for the voiceless and a powerful symbol of hope for the thousands of children and young adults who go missing every year.

Great Read

This book was truly an amazing book. It was sad and will make you emotional. She is an absolutely strong and brave woman. I wouldn’t have been able to survive half of what she went through but she did and I’m truly proud of who she is today. 10/10 definitely would recommend

I’m speechless

My coworker recommended this book to me as I am a traveling healthcare worker on assignment in Cleveland Ohio. When I was told about this story I knew I had to get my hands on this book. I caught myself thinking I was reading a fictional thriller at times. I’m just speechless literally that this happened to these girls. It’s absolutely horrifying what they went through. They are some strong women! This book has actually really scared me, but I’m glad that it sheds light on situations like this. Like wake up people and be more aware because you never know what could be happening next door, and you never know who you can trust.
