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.

Michelle Knight is an amazing & strong woman! Listening to her story was tragic & sad. I give her do much credit for her amazing strength for all she had to endure. It was sad to her story. I wish her all the luck in her future, as she truly deserves happiness.

I remember these women being saved and have always wondered what happened to them after they were freed. Michelle is the one of the 3 I remember most. This account of what can only be described as a horrific situation was well told and for the most part well written. I can’t imagine the strength she needed to get where she is today snd the compassion she has for a life that has wronged her so much.

Wonderful recount of an unimaginable situation

What Michelle experienced was nothing short of some of the worst things ive ever heard. She clearly has an incredible will to live. The downside of the book, though no fault of her own due to the lack of education, is that the true impact of the story is subdued. You can only hear her refer to her captor as 'the Dude' so many times before you start thinking of the Big Lebowski. It's unfortunate that her editor did not assist in a way that would reflect how truly horrendous it was.

A harrowing tale
