Hope by Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus | Summary & Analysis With Mary Jordan and Kevin Sullivan A Memoir of Survival in Cleveland  



Hope, the story of two of the three young women held captive by Ariel Castro, is a graphic and gripping account of a decade of abduction, assault, and abuse in a rundown house on Seymour Street in a rough section of Cleveland.

Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, the two youngest of the three captives, wrote their stories together because they wanted everyone to know the truth, not only about what they endured, but about the hope that enabled them to survive. They derived strength from seeing their families on TV and from the bright spirit of Berry’s daughter, Jocelyn, born four years into her mother’s ordeal.

On April 21, 2003, Berry was a regular teen, working at Burger King, listening to Eminem, and hoping to go to college. She usually did not walk home from work because her mom thought it was dangerous, but no ride was convenient that night…

Had to DNF because the content was heartbreaking.

[Anna · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was amazed at the courage these girls had and continued to have throughout their captivity. Being kidnapped, raped repeatedly, having a baby, not being allowed to move freely and the emotional and psychological abuse of these girls-women was appalling on its own, but then to have them survive and be able to live, was even more amazing. I was very humbled and sorrowed.
