The Lost Girls: The True Story of the Cleveland Abductions and the Incredible Re

Description: The Lost Girls by John Glatt They were held in brutal captivity--and managed to make it out alive. This is their story. The Lost Girls are Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus--three innocent young women who were kidnapped, imprisoned, and repeatedly molested and beaten in a Cleveland home basement for over a decade by a depraved man named Ariel Castro. Their incredible escape, in May 2013, made headlines all over the world. "Absorbing...a page-turning, detailed overview of this remarkable story." --Kirkus Reviews In this up-close-and-personal account--including exclusive interviews with Castros family members, secret girlfriend, neighbors, and others--veteran investigative journalist John Glatt reveals what it was like as Michelle, Amanda, and Gina waited, bound and chained, to be found.
