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.

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.

Keep strong, keep going!
I decided to download this book because I always wondered how Kate mentally deals with such tragedy and uncertainty. I'm sure she carries the weight of guilt with her everyday. I can't imagine the pain she and her family must experience everyday. Especially as they're under constant scrutiny. I think she's done well to manage her emotions to keep focused on the search for her daughter. It must've been so hard writing this book, which hopefully helps towards the search. Keep strong Kate. Keep going!

Tragic story
Sorry but I couldn’t get into this book. This is such a tragic awful and sad story. My heart absolutely breaks for kate and gerry, but i just can’t get my head round everyone thought this was ok to leave these kids alone😢 i would always sit on the balcony and have a drink with my husband while my kids were sleeping. I would go not even 1 step away from our apartment… ever. The distance was SO far and doing hourly checks or whatever just isn’t an excuse 😞 nothing would make me leave my children alone anywhere in this world while they slept at whatever age. The thought of my child waking saying “mummy” and I wasn’t there is enough to make me never want to leave them, and i never did. This could have all been avoided if proper care was taken unfortunately 😢💔but it’s done now and my heart breaks for the absolute extreme pain kate&gerry must be going through now and i wish this had never happened 😢💔 its heartbreaking and i pray that one day we all get the answers 🙏🏽😢 take care of your precious family and i pray your pain eases and one day you get the answers 🙏🏽❤️ i am truly devastated by this story. Poor poor maddie 😞💔 xxx

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..
