About this ebook
New York Times bestselling crime writer John Glatt tells the true story behind the kidnappings and long-overdue rescue of three women found in a Cleveland basement.
The Lost Girls tells the truly amazing story of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, who were kidnapped, imprisoned, and repeatedly raped and beaten in a Cleveland house for over a decade by Ariel Castro, and their amazing escape in May 2013, which made headlines all over the world. The book has an exclusive interview and photographs of Ariel Castro's secret fiancé, who spent many romantic nights in his house of horror, without realizing he had bound and chained captives just a few feet away. There are also revealing interviews with several Castro family members, musician friends and several neighbors who witnessed the dramatic rescue.

There were so many victims of this depraved man. It is amazing how one person can turn so evil, when others make the most out of a bad situation and can still lead productive lives. John Glatt does a great job retelling this story so that all can make their own assessment to try and make sense of the senseless and cruel crimes of this monster. In the end, there is no way to understand why it happened. But the victims come out of this ordeal as shining examples of survival, love, and strength. Michelle Knight, especially, is my hero, because she refused to give in to hatred. She loved above all else and that is what pulled her through.

I have to commend these young ladies for holding onto their sanity, strength and resilience during this decade long ordeal. I'm not so sure I could.
