Hope by Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, Mary Jordan & Kevin Sullivan Book Summary

The #1 New York Times Bestseller

A bestselling book that is inspiring the nation: “We have written here about terrible things that we never wanted to think about again . . . Now we want the world to know: we survived, we are free, we love life.”

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: “Help me, I’m Amanda Berry. . . . I’ve been kidnapped, and I’ve been missing for ten years.”
 
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 daughter—Jocelyn—by 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 Prize–winning Washington Post reporters Mary Jordan and Kevin Sullivan interweave the events within Castro’s house with original reporting on efforts to find the missing girls. The full story behind the headlines—including details never previously released on Castro’s life and motivations—Hope is a harrowing yet inspiring chronicle of two women whose courage, ingenuity, and resourcefulness ultimately delivered them back to their lives and families.

Woah. They're such strong women.

Hope. Very good book that can be shared with most ages. It gives just enough information that will help other young girls to be cautious. It also gives Hope to those who may have had similar experiences with sexual trauma.

i was crying. so i read this book after my friend introduced it to me. i cried while i read some of this book. on the fourth of july i took 5 hours to read this. its amazing. it took my two days to read. im so grateful for amanda gina and michelle for having the courage to deal with that sick man. the girls saved eachother from depression, suicide, and much more. Jocelyn is incredibly adorable and i hope she understands more as she grows up. you guys inspired my to push myself as a person in life to persue the dreams i have. you three girls never let go and thats astonishing. you can survive anything. you know wrong from right and now you know you can be free. they have taught millions of people to hold onto your dreams and never ever let go. Live life to your fullest! ~ Jaynie❤️

Very emotional yet strong. Wow! This book makes me think what I have I take for granted. I should be more thankful on the things that I have. What an eye opener. Very powerful book about strength, hope, and the glory of believing in god. Thank goodness the girls are safe now.

Emotional. I could not put down. God bless these survivors.💪🏼

Hope. Such a sad story, I wish these girls the best and pray for them to find peace. I would never gave been able to survive that monster. I'm glad they made it out alive. I pray more missing children are found. God bless you girls..

Strength and Hope. The strength these women showed is incredible. They endured so much while finding hope to make it through this all. Wish you all the best life has to offer.

Must read!. Simply inspirational.

Captivating!. I can't imagine a day in the life of these girls! They went through hell and survived. Great book.

Excellent. Amazing!!!

Hope. Beautiful ending.

Hope. I wish you two women the best life has to offer. I cannot imagine how you made it thru the hell you did. Great book about a horrible subject!

Wiping away tears.. I am a grown man and I am feeling that jumpy shortness of breath you feel before you start sobbing. I am so moved by this story. Buy this book. Even if you don't read it, give these girls your money. They need a vacation.

Amanda & Gina. I can’t say enough positive things...to make a horrific story with a sunny ending! It is written as if the girls are directly talking. Their story has been told!!! I just wish all 3 girls can work things out and work together on the next book. Courage, strength and prevailing...bravo for you guys! Looking forward to the next book!!!

Great read!. I read this book in one day could not put it down.i am so happy for these women .they deserve much happiness they are both so inspiring and i'm so glad they didn't let this monster darken there heart. Good luck with the rest of your life.i am also happy they didn't let him come between them as hard as he tried.

Welcome home ❤️. Speechless. Amanda, Georgina and Michelle you all are such strong and amazing women. Reading this book and imagining what you guys went through i almost could not finish it. Ladies keep your heads held high and keep pushing forward! Best wishes to you all ❤️

Non stop reading here. These girls are so inspiring to me! Wishing them only the best! Thanks for sharing your experiences. I was so caught up in the story all weekend!! May God Bless You All!

HOPE/FAITH Prevail. Amazing, courageous women. I wish them much peace and happiness!

Quite a BOOK !!!. You will not be able to put the book, down! My family was from Cleveland , grew up there in 1950's. I wish them both, the best in their future. It truly was a memoir of survival !!!

POWERFUL. This book was a Mother's Day gift from my son. I was anxious to hear these young ladies tell their story of survival. It was hard reading what they endured at the hands of that monster. But hey we're blessed to survive. I love that in spite of him they are doing that....SURVIVING. so proud of Amanda, Gina ,Michelle and Jocelyn

Hope. Such a great book !

Hope. I bought this book, in large part, to play a role in financially supporting these young ladies. I didn't feel I really needed to read it for details as I live in Cleveland and we had front row seats to the pain their families suffered and the breathtaking resolution to their confinement. I was, however, riveted by the indomitable human spirit that permeated through their stories. I am grateful they shared this with the world and pray for their futures.

Inspirational. I've read this book several times as I've found it so inspirational. If these girls can make it through their ordeal day after day for 10 long yrs, then I should be able to get through life's ups and downs. Thank you Amanda, Gina, & Jocelyn!

Wow!. This book is inspirational. These women are so strong! Very good read! Did not want to put it down!

Wonderful Book!!!!!!. I read this book in three days. That's pretty exceptional for me. These women endured so much in the hands of a monster, and came out of it fighting, swinging, and determined not to let him win... You are all truly an inspiration to women and thanks for sharing your story....

I loved it!. This was a great book and answered a lot of questions. I'm so inspired by these ladies courage. Thank You for sharing your story of Hope!

Courageous. What a great book. The courageous story of these ladies and their will to survive made it nearly impossible to stop reading!!

Five star women, one star book. These women are incredible but the "writers" helping to write this book did them a terrible disservice. The writing and flow of the book was awful, but story obviously fascinating. It was also horrific to read in the "acknowledgement" section of the book that neither acknowledged Michelle Knight. Very sad.

The most amazing book ever. Every couple years I read up on these girls , to give me strength and to give me hope , their words humble me in ways they could never imagine ! Read this book and trust their words , they are living proof that god is real and miracles exists !

Must Read. This book is inspiring. The strength of these girls is astonishing. It was troubling to read their experience but also it was very satisfying hearing their side of the story instead of people covering it on tv. I'm so greatful that these girls can move on with the lives they deserve.

Strength and Perseverance. Thank you ladies for sharing what you went through and more importantly, how you survived it. You give us so much hope. To me, your names will forever be associated with strength and perseverance. You are beautiful women and children of the Most High. God bless.

amazing courage. this horrible event took place in the neighborhood I grew up in. My family still lives there. I followed this story and aways prayed that one day someone would find the girls. This book is was so interesting, very detailed and well written. I finished the book, but I can't stop thinking about it. Prayers to Amanda, Gina and Michelle.

Hope. Amanda Barry and Gina DeHaseus from Cleveland,,,amazing that these girls survived,,(they are amazing)I wish them a happy life,,and thank you both for sharing your story of survival but most of all hope..

Great title!!!. Amazing book. Thanks for opening up and putting it all out there. I’ve been interested in you all for years, glad you had hope and made it out alive and well!!!! Xoxo

The Escape. You have the escape all wrong...these young women were assisted in their escape by a brave passerby... Don't get it twisted;(

Wonderful Book. So powerful! Great read!

One of the best books I've ever read. This book was literally a inspiration to look at missing children poster and to study them because you never know what your neighbors or family members are up to.... this happens everyday and everyone should be aware of their surroundings.....

Hope. This book was as deep as it go could go. Made me feel I was looking it through ever crack. These girls now young ladies had the hope and strength to get out. I was living in California when it happened. I stayed listening to this entire case. After I work up I’m on HLN and saw Castro committed suicide!! I don’t know why? Maybe because he needed to suffer more. As a rape victim n kept for days as well, the man that took me is free!! Living in fear is the worst. Amanda and Gina your whole life ahead of you. Your beautiful strong and amazing women. Jocelyn sweet innocent baby girl. Amanda I know you WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE BEST MOTHER EVER!! Edna Miller

Emotional read but inspiring. This journey brought me to tears reading it...I wish them a long life of happiness!!

Amazing. This is an amazing book about hope and survival. Definitely a must read!

Hope. Amazing

Mesmerizing. I have never written a review that was not required by an academic institution in my life, however I feel compelled to write one for this book. I have been intrigued by these women since the day I saw on the news they had escaped the horrific circumstances for which they were living in. This book does an exceptional job at outlining their struggles and commitment to hope. I could not put it down. These ladies are inspiring and because of them I do not think I could ever say I am having a bad day. May faith, courage, and mercy continue to be with the two of you.

HOPE. This book was an amazing description of the unthinkable that this incredibly strong women suffered for so many years. At times, difficult to read but at the same time not wanting to put the book down. I'm inspired by their courage and resilience!!!! May God continue to bless them and make them an inspiration to others. It would be an honor to meet all of them for a book signing one day!!!

Must read. I absolutely loved this book!!! I couldn't stop reading it!! Only took me 4 days!!! It's a definite must read!!!

Beyond words…. This story had me riveted. The girls' strength, courage, dignity, beautiful hearts is beyond anything you would think is humanly possible. Their story will help many people. It is told with grace and articulation. To say I admire Michelle, Amanda, Joce and Gina would be an understatement. I am in awe of them with the utmost respect. Have a beautiful Today and the next…

Really great book!. I am so proud of Amanda and Gina for being brave and never giving up. I have an 11 yr old son and a 15 yr old daughter and worry every day about them as well. I can only imagine how the parents felt. God bless both of you. Now I'm off to buy Michelle Knights book.

Thank you. Thank you for sharing. Truly inspiring. Wish the best for you girls❤️❤️❤️

Page Turner. This was an absolutely amazing story! Well told!! Heartbreaking and eye opening! My prayers are forever with these girls!

Wow. I literally could not stop reading once I started. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Great book. These women are beyond amazing. I wish them all the best!

Amazing book!. Such an amazing read. I finished in a day!! These 3 women are so strong. Wow.

Best book I have read. i recently bought Michelle Knights book and read it first. Once I finished, I had to read the story of the other two girls. This book explains so much more and its completely mind blowing when you learn the facts they never covered on the news.

Amazing. Finished this book in under a day, couldn't stop reading it. Truly amazing the courage, and strength these girls had. Once finished I had to purchase Michelle Knights book "Finding me", hoping it will be just as good.
