Non-Fiction Memoir
Kate McCann's personal account of the disappearance and
continuing search for her daughter ‘The decision to publish this book has been very difficult,
and taken with heavy hearts … My reason for writing it is
simple: to give an account of the truth … Writing this
memoir has entailed recording some very personal, intimate
and emotional aspects of our lives. Sharing these with
strangers does not come easily to me, but if I hadn’t done
so I would not have felt the book gave as full a picture as
it is possible for me to give. As with every action we have
taken over the last four years, it ultimately boils down to
whether what we are doing could help us to find Madeleine.
When the answer to that question is yes, or even possibly,
our family can cope with anything … What follows is
an intensely personal account, and I make no apology for
that … Nothing is more important to us than finding
our little girl.’ Kate McCann, May 2011
‘It is a sad fact that not a single police
force anywhere is proactively looking for Madeleine (as is
the case for many other missing children). I am sure this
book will re-energize the search for our daughter and the
public will get behind the Find Madeleine campaign once
again. It is simply not acceptable that the authorities have
given up on Madeleine – especially when no comprehensive
review of the case has been undertaken. Our daughter, and
whoever took her, are out there. We need your help to find
them.’ Gerry McCann, May 2011
Kate and Gerry McCann established Madeleine’s Fund:
Leaving No Stone Unturned in 2007, to enable them to
continue the search for their daughter, who was abducted in
Praia da Luz, Portugal on Thursday, 3 May 2007. As there is
now no law-enforcement agency in the world actively looking
for Madeleine, the fund enables a small team of very
committed and experienced people to investigate Madeleine’s
disappearance. It also runs awareness campaigns in several
countries, to ensure the public know that Madeleine is still
missing, and to encourage them to remain vigilant. There is
no evidence to suggest that Madeleine has been harmed and it
is therefore vital to keep looking for her and those who
took her. It is for this reason that all royalties earned
from the sales of this book will be donated to Madeleine’s
Fund. The directors of the company are
Michael Linnett, Edward Smethurst, Jon Corner, Kate and
Gerry McCann and Kate’s uncle, Brian Kennedy. Once Madeleine
has been found the fund will be used to assist searches for
other missing children worldwide.
