Description
Michelle Knight—now known as Lily Rose Lee—captured the world's attention in May 2013, when she and fellow kidnapping victims Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus were found and freed after years of imprisonment and torture. Michelle was a young single mother when she was kidnapped by a Cleveland school bus driver named Ariel Castro. Her story of the horrors she endured for more than a decade, and the hope she sustained, became the #1 New York Times bestseller Finding Me in 2014.
In her second book—published on the fifth anniversary of her escape—she answers the question: How do you heal after great tragedy? Organised thematically (finding hope, finding friendship, finding love), Michelle shares her experience of rebuilding her life, and offers her thoughts on how anyone who has suffered greatly can learn to find new meaning and purpose.
