Yet through it all, including near death experiences, Michelle held on to her love of her son Joey. Without this memory to anchor her, I don't think she would have survived. Her only advice to us is, "If you see something, say something." That's the least we can do.

Has she ever thought what would have become of her if she hadn't been kidnapped? "I'd probably be living on a street or dead by now. It probably would have been drugs or drink." So the hell she lived through might have saved her? She smiles. "Yes. Because it gave me street smarts. It made me see the other side of the road that no one else gets to see. Even though it was painful and horrible, I survived it."

Relatives of Cleveland's Suspected Kidnappers Pioneered The City's Latino Community". Fox News Latino. May 8, 2013. Archived from the original on June 15, 2013 . Retrieved May 13, 2013. Castro kidnapped Berry a year after he took Knight, one day before Berry's 17th birthday. A year later he kidnapped 14-year-old Gina DeJesus. (Knight is convinced she was kidnapped only because Castro thought she was far younger than 21.) Was there any comfort in knowing there were other girls in the house? Yes, she says, but her overwhelming feeling was pity. "I felt they didn't deserve to be here. I didn't deserve to be here. Everything that happened from that day was just going to be a big old mess. It's a tragedy because you know exactly what she's going to go through, and she ain't going to like it. And you don't know how she will react to it." All three girls had known Castro's children. This is a horrifying memoir. Michelle Knight had a traumatic childhood that included abuse, neglect and molestation, and she ran away from home when she was 15, during which time she slept under a bridge and briefly worked for a drug dealer. In 2002, when she was 21, she was kidnapped by a Cleveland bus driver named Ariel Castro and then held captive in his house for almost 11 years. While she was imprisoned, she was frequently raped, beaten, starved and abused.

I say THREE because while occasionally thrown into the story as an annoying afterthought, Michelle Knight was also in that house the longest and endured the worst experience. While they did ask Michelle if she wanted to participate in this book, she said she wanted to tell her own story. If they took offense to that, shouldn't they of all people understand everyone needs to heal in their own personal way? Ariel Castro (July 10, 1960 – September 3, 2013) was born in Duey, Yauco, Puerto Rico, the son of Pedro Castro and Lillian Rodriguez. [11] His parents divorced when he was a child, and he moved to the contiguous United States with his mother and three biological siblings. The family first lived in Exton, Pennsylvania, before settling in Cleveland, Ohio, where Castro's father and several other family members were living. [12] [13] [14] [15] Castro had nine siblings (both full and half) [16] and graduated from Cleveland's Lincoln-West High School in 1979. [17] [18]
