On May 6, 2013, Amanda Berry made headlines around the world when she fled a Cleveland home and called 911, saying: â‚¬Å“Help me, Iâ‚¬m Amanda Berry. . . . Iâ‚¬ve been kidnapped, and Iâ‚¬ve been missing for ten years.â‚¬Â
Â
A horrifying story rapidly unfolded. Ariel Castro, a local school bus driver, had separately lured Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight to his home, where he kept them chained.

The full story behind the headlinesâ‚¬"including details never previously released on Castroâ‚¬s life and motivationsâ‚¬"Hope is a harrowing yet inspiring chronicle of two women whose courage, ingenuity, and resourcefulness ultimately delivered them back to their lives and families.
