An inspiring true story
Katie Beers is a married mother of two, currently working in a
family-run insurance business. As a profoundly neglected and abused
child, she was kidnapped and locked in an underground coffin-like
box for 17 days. The kidnapping of Katie Beers made worldwide
headlines in late 1992. Katie, at the centre of a national media
storm, dropped out of sight 20 years ago. Katie has a Bachelor's
degree in accounting and lives in rural Pennsylvania with her
husband and their two children. This is her first book.
Carolyn Gusoff is an Emmy-award-winning broadcast journalist who
has covered the Long Island beat since 1987. She is currently seen
on air at WCBS-TV in New York. As a reporter for WCBS, Fox5 New
York, WNBC and News 12, Carolyn has covered some of the most
high-profile news stories in New York City and its suburbs,
including the kidnapping of Katie Beers. Carolyn has a Master's
Degree in Journalism from Columbia University and a Bachelor's
Degree in English and Government from Cornell University. She lives
with her husband and their two children on Long Island.
A true heartbreaking story with a beautiful ending.

From the first page, I couldn't put this book down... I loved the
dual perspective from both the child herself and the reporter who
from the beginning covered the story... Despite the incredible
sadness and shock I experienced at times reading the book, in the
end it was so inspiring and uplifting
*Amazon.com reader review*
This is an amazing account. If it were not true, no one would
believe it. It is exceptionally well written... I read through the
book quickly cover to cover to know the story. I will most
definitely read it over again, slowly, for the wisdoms of this
brave and resilient survivor.
*Amazon.com reader review*
Starts out like "true crime". Grabs you in with each compelling
detail. A real "page turner".
Neither Katie nor Carolyn backs away from any detail, no matter how
painful or difficult it is. This is a formidable, comprehensive
examination of an amazing person, presented in a compellingly
readable way.
A "must-read".
