Non-Fiction Memoir
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. In Finding Me, Michelle will reveal the heartbreaking
details of her story, including the thoughts and prayers
that helped her find courage to endure her unimaginable
circumstances and now build a life worth living. By sharing
both her past and her efforts to create a future, Michelle
becomes a voice for the voiceless and a powerful symbol of
hope for the thousands of children and young adults who go
missing every year.
