i devoured this in less than 24 hours. it’s as if we having a conversation rather than me reading. the vulnerability is astounding. phenomenal.

This book broke my heart in so many ways but this is the reality of life. We expect fairytales but this book was a testament that bad things do happen to good people. It showed me that no matter how bad things can get, we can always use the negative to turn it into something positive. Michelle, thank you for something so real and raw, I hope you find the peace that you truly deserve.

I saw the documentary and lead to me purchasing her book. I was so moved , I cried as I read the ordeal they went through.

This book was truly an amazing book. It was sad and will make you emotional. She is an absolutely strong and brave woman. I wouldn’t have been able to survive half of what she went through but she did and I’m truly proud of who she is today. 10/10 definitely would recommend

My coworker recommended this book to me as I am a traveling healthcare worker on assignment in Cleveland Ohio. When I was told about this story I knew I had to get my hands on this book. I caught myself thinking I was reading a fictional thriller at times. I’m just speechless literally that this happened to these girls. It’s absolutely horrifying what they went through. They are some strong women! This book has actually really scared me, but I’m glad that it sheds light on situations like this. Like wake up people and be more aware because you never know what could be happening next door, and you never know who you can trust.

Wow! Absolutely heartbreaking what Michelle had to go through, but her love for life is so inspiring. She deserves so much love and kindness.

Throughout this book, my heart and my soul felt every word written to the core usually leaving me emotionally drained each time I picked up the book to read. Sometimes I’d have to take breaks because I could not mentally deal with the abuse endured by Ms. Knight. I kept asking myself, why was her life so sad from the very beginning? Why was she put through so much pain? But I see her perspective and commend her for being so strong and articulating her strength so beautifully and encouraging others to take control of their life even after something so horrible. Such an inspiring read and definitely recommend.

Throughout this entire book I could not help but tear. Thank you Michelle Knight for sharing your experience with the world. You’re sooooo strong. 5/5 recommend!!

I cried almost throughout the whole book. Michelle is such an inspiration of hope and the way she loves herself, the way nobody else ever did, is beautiful. Survivor is an understatement

Tears filled my eyes throughout the entire book. I would love to know what happened to the young man who found you underneath the bridge and took you in? If you where ever reunited? Bless you and may you continue to find the small beauty this world has to offer.
