Two women kidnapped by infamous Cleveland school-bus driver Ariel Castro share the stories of their abductions, captivity, and dramatic escape<\/p>\n

On May 6, 2013, Amanda Berry made headlines around the world when she fled a Cleveland home and called 911, saying: \u201cHelp me, I\u2019m Amanda Berry. . . . I\u2019ve been kidnapped, and I\u2019ve been missing for ten years.\u201d<\/p>\n

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\u2014Jocelyn\u2014by their captor.<\/p>\n

Drawing upon their recollections and the diary kept by Amanda Berry, Berry and Gina DeJesus describe a tale of unimaginable torment, and Pulitzer Prize\u2013winning Washington Post reporters Mary Jordan and Kevin Sullivan interweave the events within Castro\u2019s house with original reporting on efforts to find the missing girls. The full story behind the headlines\u2014including details never previously released on Castro\u2019s life and motivations\u2014Hope is a harrowing yet inspiring chronicle of two women whose courage, ingenuity, and resourcefulness ultimately delivered them back to their lives and families.<\/p>\n
