The #1�New York Times�Bestseller
A bestselling�book that is�inspiring the nation: “We have written here about terrible things that we never wanted to think about again . . . Now we want the world to know:�we survived, we are free, we love life.”
Two women kidnapped by infamous Cleveland school-bus driver Ariel Castro share the stories of their abductions, captivity, and dramatic escape
�
On May 6, 2013, Amanda Berry made headlines around the world when she fled a Cleveland home and called 911, saying: “Help me, I’m Amanda Berry. . . . I’ve been kidnapped, and I’ve been missing for ten years.”
�
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—Jocelyn—by their captor.
�
Drawing upon their recollections and the diary kept by Amanda Berry, Berry and Gina DeJesus describe a tale of unimaginable torment, and Pulitzer Prize–winning Washington Post reporters Mary Jordan and Kevin Sullivan interweave the events within Castro’s house with original reporting on efforts to find the missing girls. The full story behind the headlines—including details never previously released on Castro’s life and motivations—Hope is a harrowing yet inspiring chronicle of two women whose courage, ingenuity, and resourcefulness ultimately delivered them back to their lives and families.

From School Library Journal
Teens who were fascinated by Michelle Knight's Finding Me: A Decade of Darkness, a Life Reclaimed (Weinstein, 2014) will eagerly read Berry and DeJesus's story of their kidnapping and 10-year ordeal with sociopath Ariel Castro. What is unique about the duos' memoir is the different experiences of the two young women held captive (along with Knight) in the same house, sometimes even chained to the same bed. There were years when they were unaware of each other's existence and years when they had limited to no contact. Berry, in particular, kept extensive diaries that are published here, giving readers keen insight into the daily routine in the house. While the girls were pitted against one another, the birth of Berry's baby (fathered by her captor) changed the dynamic in significant ways. Her feelings for Castro the rapist and Castro the loving father of her child brought confusion and anguish. DeJesus writes, "Jocelyn is the only happy person in this house, and I love her." Also unique is the fact that Berry escaped. The dramatic telling of her fear as she walked out of a room she had been conditioned to stay in, as well as her courageous rebellion against her captor is extraordinary. VERDICT An inside look at a horrific ordeal ripped from the headlines that will be devoured by teens.—Amy Cheney, Alameda County Library, CA
Review
Praise for Hope: A Memoir of Survival in Cleveland
�
“[C]ompulsively readable. . . . Berry and DeJesus’s memoir sections are startlingly illuminating—and genuinely inspiring. It’s astounding to read how the young women kept up their spirits and their hopes even while being held captive by a monstrously cold, self-pitying brute.”
—The Washington Post
“[A] breathtaking accomplishment. What could have been a record of two victims who endure the unendurable at the hands of a monster, is, instead, the story of two young and frightened girls as they come of age and, against all odds, come to an understanding of themselves and their tormenter. They emerge from the house on Seymour Avenue with an insight and compassion that many adults never grasp.”
—The Cleveland Plain Dealer
�
“Hope is riveting, chilling, powerful and unforgettable. From raw emotion to quiet determination, Berry and DeJesus show the world the strength of hope.”
—Deseret News
“The bravery and resolve that Berry and DeJesus convey in this well-crafted memoir is both astonishing and inspiring”
—Publishers Weekly
“[A] compelling chronicle of Berry and DeJesus' harrowing experiences in captivity, told in their own words and in a journal that Berry kept on scraps of paper . . . . A nuanced testament to the complexity of the human spirit.”
—Kirkus Reviews

Questions arise...
By Cindi M. Rice
While I read this book with an open and compassionate mind, and can honestly say that I find Amanda and Gina's courage and fortitude to be astonishing during the endless depravity they were forced to endure, I also wondered at the continual ommissions of Michelle Knight in the telling of their story. Indeed, Michelle was trapped the longest of the three, and conceived 5 individual pregnancies as a result of violent rape, only to have each fetus viciously beaten out of her body. Yet none of that was included in this book, but rather a brief reference of Michelle "being made to lose her baby". Just one miscarriage was referred to, and only in an oblique and vague manner.
I felt all through the book that somehow Michelle was not welcomed to be part of a threesome that offered support and comfort to one another. Once the girls were freed it wasn't mentioned that Michelle was gravely ill from long-standing abuse and poor nutrition, to the point that she had to remain in the hospital for several days until she could begin to stabilize.
And where was Michelle when Amanda and Gina were invited to meet the president and speak at the White House? Wasn't that personal triumph every bit Michelle's too, just as much as it was Gina's and Amanda's? I also felt sad for Michelle once they had been found and rescued. Gina and Amanda had large, loving families to go home to. Michelle had no one. For that reason alone, an effort should have been made to reach out to her, include her in all celebrating and certainly being presented at the White House. I'm personaly offended to see Michelle receive such disinterest and almost a dismissive flicking away. All three girls endured unspeakable horrors together, under the same small roof. It seems only natural that they would bond together and forge a friendship built from the ashes of that horrific decade of hell.
I find it so sad to see Michelle, with no family support system, strike out alone and try to rebuild her life and I feel that omission dragged the book down. I read Michelle's account of her experiences in her book "Finding Me" and feel there was much more honesty and compassion for the other two girls and their suffering, too, in her relating of those awful 10 years.

Horrific circumstances survived, but ongoing lack of respect for Michelle K. bothered me
By JudylL
Positive first: I really appreciated the research that went in to giving a narrative of the search and investigation for these girls, as well as narrative about other related events. I found these parts well written and helpful in piecing together a despicable world Castro created for himself. I also appreciated the honesty that Amanda Berry shows in talking about her conflicted feelings for Castro. This is understandable since he is her source of everything for 10 years: food, clothes, entertainment, even life.
As for the rest of the book: I felt that parts of the girls' narratives were poorly written. Or perhaps it just seemed "shallow" (for lack of a better term). Reading Michelle Knight's "Finding Me", I was struck by the brutal honesty. The verbiage was elementary in places, but was reading as you imagine she was just talking to the reader... telling them her story. In "Hope", I always felt as if pieces were held back, left out, or simply not addressed.
As unpopular as this statement may be, I feel it's merited: Michelle Knight was not treated fairly in this book. While it's clear that Castro set these girls up to compete for attention and meager resources from the beginning, playing them off each other, the book felt childish in it's limited narrative about Michelle. They don't even have the courtesy to thank or mention her in the acknowledgement? Amanda's view mentions once, in passing, that she was worried she wouldn't e allowed to carry her baby because Michelle had been forced into a miscarriage. No, he savagely attacked her and killed her unborn children that she wanted 4-5 times. I understand there were head games. I understand they are different people and may not want to 'hang out' after. I get that these 2 girls were closer in age than Michelle. I get that they had close families to return to, and she did not. But this was about RESPECTING her in their book. 2 years after their release. And that respect, in my opinion, is lacking. While I don't feel that these women can be judged for any way they are able to survive... they did whatever they had to do to get through to the next day.... I do think that it reflects poor mentoring by the authors helping them tell their story. Either way, I'm glad they are all free, and that precious baby is able to see want a real life is life.

My honest opinion on the book.
By Tristen
So I read the whole book cover to back in under 24 hours so this book will draw you in. However, much like a few other readers there are something’s I would have liked to know more about. To start with, let's get this right out there in the open. There is not much description on any other the attacks. You will learn more about what happened to these girls on the news than you will in this book. I can say you really feel like you are in there with them because the book starts to get monotonous. Yes, there is rape; we all know that it's coming, and while most of are not reading this book just to hear those details, it's skipped over so lightly (I understand. They are not trying to entertain anyone) it can be hard to really put yourself in the story. Also, something is up with the Michelle Knight business and this book screams it. It also paints a clear picture that it is Amanda's doing that Michelle is odd man out and Amanda is very dismissive of Michelle. Throughout the book she is barely mentioned, and they both skip over how badly Michelle was treated. No spoilers but Michelle and Gina spend a lot of time together only to barely see each other now, but Amanda and Gina now hang out often. Something is not right. Finally, you should know that this is Amanda's story, not really Gina's. A simple flip through the book and you can see it is 90 % written by Berry and the rest is Gina.
