Summary

The decision to publish the book has been very difficult, and taken with heavy hearts... My reason for writing it is simple: to give an account of the truth...

Writing this memoir has entailed recording some very personal, intimate and emotional aspects of our lives. Sharing these with strangers does not come easily to me, but if I hadn't done so I would not have felt the book gave as full a picture as it is possible for me to give.

As with every action we have taken over the last four years, it ultimately boils down to whether what we are doing could help us to find Madeleine. When the answer to that question is yes, or even possibly, our family can cope with anything... nothing is more important to us than finding our little girl.

Gerry McCann says: "It is a sad fact that not a single police force anywhere is proactively looking forMadeleine (as is the case for many other missing children). I am sure this book will re-energize the search for our daughter and the public will get behind the Find Madeleine campaign once again. It is simply unacceptable that the authorities could give up on Madeleine - especially without a single review of the case having been carried out. Our daughter, and whoever took her, are out there. We need your help to find them."

inspirational

this is a perfect example to show that people should not always believe what is in the media.
A courageous and inspiring family. Being able to fight daily with vultures, insensitivity and pure cruelty whilst living every parent's worst fear but still being able to bring up 2 beautiful children and fight to find their beautiful Madeleine. I am not religious but I pray Madeleine will be found safely and bought back to her loving family.
Kate - you are stronger than you believe in being able to have to relive details of horrific experiences in order to put the story straight and hopefully get correct details out so Madeleine's cause can still carry on until she is reunited with her family. my heart goes out to you xx

Incredibly powerful

How two people can go through something this utterly horrendous is completely incomprehensible. I know they have had no choice but to keep going for the sake of their three children, but honestly have no idea how they did. So much respect and admiration for the McCanns in enduring such suffering with great dignity and strength. Also just an important reminder of the need to not sweat the small stuff.

Truly heartbreaking story.

Beneath the rumours conspiracies and lies I truly hope this family can stay strong in the hope that one day Madeline is reunited safely home.

God bless you all. ❤️

Inspirational and honest account

A heart felt and truthful account of the events. My heart goes out to the McCann family and I am in awe of Kate for having the strength to write this book. What an amazing family. I will be recommending this book to my book club, friends and family with a view to keeping the search for this beautiful little girl alive.

Make sure you have tissues!

I cried from start to finish, for the injustice done to this lovely family and for what they have been through. This was a very well written, myth busting, personal account of this terrible tragedy. Thank you McCann's for the work you have done and continue to do for missing children.

Truly harrowing.

I never write reviews but felt compelled.. I felt so angry shocked and dismayed listening to this book and all the injustice done to the Mc Cann family ..not only had their cherished daughter be taken but the outright mental torture and incompetence by the police is truly unforgivable.. not to mention the media and all the idiots that have tried to destroy them.. any fool following the case at the time could see it just wasn’t possible they had a part in Madeleines disappearance.. my God if the police had done their job instead of looking for an easy way out Maybe Madeleine might have been found.. The police ,media and all the trolls are in my opinion as evil as the inhuman creep that took poor Madeleine ... I couldn’t stop listening to this book all be it with my mouth on the floor throughout.. I hope and pray that one day the injustice to Gerry and Kate is brought out into the light and above all they find their precious Madeleine..

Insitefull reading , great read

Fantastically written, heartbreaking book. Shame on all those people who presumed the worst of the family before waiting to hear their version of events. My only wish was that Kate McCann could have read it herself.

Very sad

The book deals with the terrible events from the perspective of the person probably affected the most.
To the people who say, hasn’t she got any shame, she knows what happened etc, read this book.
I don’t know that happened, Mrs McCann is suffering on a daily basis, that much is clear.
As for the book, it’s well written, points are well made and argued.
I hope there is a happy sequel one day.
