출판사 설명
In May of 2005, Beth Holloway received the worst phone call a parent can imagine. Her beautiful daughter, Natalee, had vanished without a trace in Aruba during her high school senior class trip. Four years later, Beth Holloway steps forward to tell the story of her daughter's disappearance and her own harrowing ordeal—and her never-ending belief in the power of faith that gave her hope against all odds.
When Natalee went missing, her photograph was splashed across newspaper front pages and television screens from coast to coast. Desperate for clues to the whereabouts of the lost eighteen-year-old, Beth searched relentlessly with the help of a dedicated army of volunteers, encountering roadblocks, obstacles, and misinformation at every step—and unbearable questions that had no answers. Loving Natalee is a shocking, tragic, yet poignant chronicle of an unthinkable event and its aftermath—and the inspiring true story of a mother's strength, courage, devotion, and unwavering love.
This is the inside story of the most horrific event any parent could imagine, a testament of hope told by the mother who lived it.

Loving Natalie
I thought that this book, written by Natalie Holloway’s mother & a co-author, was well written. I knew about the Holloway case, but I never learned the whole story. All of the actions taken by the family & dozens of others, along with the extreme corruption they faced almost make the story unbelievable to a U.S. citizen. The book was riveting in places & kept my interest the whole time. The love that the Holloway’s had for Natalie was a theme throughout the whole book, & her mother’s emotions over the loss of her daughter were shared openly. I felt a lot of sympathy & sorrow for the family while I read, & I admire the family’s efforts to promote safe travel through websites & lectures. The mother’s faith & hope are inspiring.
Loving Natalie
Very well written. I couldn't put it down.
I could literally feel Beth's pain as she described the details of this nightmare that only a mother can. I felt compelled to stop and pray for Natalee and her family so many times during the day I spent reading this ordeal...and I will continue to pray that Beth & the family will get the answers I can only imagine they yearn for.
When I finished the book I sat and pondered what I'd just read and I am 100% CERTAIN of a couple of things...1) the guilty parties (& their enablers) will meet their fate one day &
2) Natalee is with our Lord & Savior proudly guiding you through this work, Beth💜
Loving Natalee
This is a very moving account of Natalee's disappearance and her family's relentless struggle to find her and bring her home. As a parent it's heartbreaking. As a U.S.citizen it is frightening to know how we can be treated in other countries.
