Michelle tells her story forthrightly and with honesty, but without the type of specific detail that would make it even harder to read than it already is. Honestly, this is a story about the worst of human nature. If you don't believe there truly is evil in the world, this book will most certainly convince you. Michelle's story of a horrific kidnapping really starts considerably before she is held as a prisoner. Her childhood, prior to being kidnapped, was no picnic to say the least and one can't help but feel as though the early childhood experiences somehow made her more likely to be victimized later. I do admire Michelle's ability to recover from what she went through and her very, very selfless love for her son. I admire her fortitude and her honesty. All in all though, this book is really not one that can leave you feeling anything other than disgusted and infuriated that things like this happen in the world. Although I read this book I will be refraining from giving it a rating simply because I don't believe in judging a story like this one in 'stars' for how much I 'liked' it. All I will say is that my heart broke a thousand times over for all four girls and much like Jaycee Dugard and Amanda Lindhout, their stories won't be leaving me. Wow. This memoir, written by a survivor of eleven years of captivity by a horrible man, was so moving. It was difficult to read at times because of how awful some of the things she went through were. One thing that really sticks out is how she remained positive and hopeful throughout her entire captivity. Meanwhile I can’t even stay positive and hopeful through a year of unemployment. The story itself was written very matter of fact, which made for an easy read. I can’t say I was inspired after this book. I’m more scared of the world now for sure but I’m also very grateful I’ve never had to undergo rape or abuse or anything this person went through. It definitely gives me a different perspective on my life. Quick read. The writing is symplistic in style, but only because she wrote most of it herself. I feel like she has endured a lot a come out on the other side a better person. Not just because of the publicity and fame she has received but because of the attitude she has about her situation. A lesson to not let your past define you. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

HTML:The #1 New York Times Bestseller and inspirational memoir by Michelle Knight, whose survival story gripped the world and continues to inspire and offer hope. Michelle was a young single mother when she was kidnapped by a local school bus driver named Ariel Castro. For more than a decade afterward, she endured unimaginable torture at the hand of her abductor. In 2003 Amanda Berry joined her in captivity, followed by Gina DeJesus in 2004. Their escape on May 6, 2013, made headlines around the world. Barely out of her own tumultuous childhood, Michelle was estranged from her family and fighting for custody of her young son when she disappeared. Local police believed she had run away, so they removed her from the missing persons lists fifteen months after she vanished. Castro tormented her with these facts, reminding her that no one was looking for her, that the outside world had forgotten her. But Michelle would not be broken. In Finding Me, Michelle will reveal the heartbreaking details of her story, including the thoughts and prayers that helped her find courage to endure her unimaginable circumstances and now build a life worth living. By sharing both her past and her efforts to create a future, Michelle becomes a voice for the voiceless and a powerful symbol of hope for the thousands of children and young adults who go missing every year.
