Summary

"The Lost Girls tells the truly amazing story of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, who were kidnapped, imprisoned, and repeatedly raped and beaten in a Cleveland house for more than a decade by Ariel Castro. Their incredible escape in May 2013 made headlines all over the world. Now John Glatt reveals what it was like as they waited, hoping to be saved, even watching the vigils their families held for them on TV, while their captor sat next to them. Castro's secret girlfriend--who spoke to the author exclusively--spent many romantic nights in the house without realizing there were bound and chained prisoners just a few feet away. Through revealing interviews with Castro's family members, fellow musicians, and neighbors who witnessed the dramatic rescue, Glatt tells the unthinkable story of three women who escaped from hell"--, Provided by publisher
