Wow, the strength of this woman is unreal!!! I’m really glad she wrote a follow up from the 1st book about her kidnapping. This book was very motivational, I would definitely recommend. You don’t necessarily have to read the 1st book because she does discuss the abuse but not as detailed.

Lily Rose Lee - the stronger woman I have read about after being captive in eleven years off Ariel Castro.

Rating a book like this is always difficult because the subject matter is horrific, but Lily is a remarkable woman. R-E-M-A-R-K-A-B-L-E. She has every right to be bitter and angry and mean, but she is kind, thankful, and hopeful. She has taken her tragic life (and sadly, it's been an awful one since she was a little girl) and turned it into something powerful and is using everything she knows to teach and help as many people as possible.
I am so happy for her that she has Miguel, her loving husband, her safe circle, and her fur babies! Lily, you deserve so much. I hope each day brings you every ounce of happiness that you can squeeze from it!

I find Michelle Knight or Lily Rose Lee to be an inspiration to others. What she endured in her life was more than most ever will. Five years after her rescue she is sharing what her life is like now and how she managed to survive it. The first part was good, it went into more detail about her recovery which was sort of skipped over at the end of her previous book. From being near death, to numerous hospital stays to ending up in a nursing home and finally getting her own apartment. She writes about her love of animals and how a horse helped her recovery, of how she indulged in too much partying and drinking and finally how she met and fell in love. She did turn into a bit of a bridezilla but I guess if you've been dreaming about your wedding for so long you are entitled to be. I am happy that Lily has found peace in her life, in her marriage and with a close circle of friends and hope she continues to be happy as she deserves it. I did find this book wasn't as good as the first one. It started good but more and more it sort of dragged and became harder to read. But maybe that's a good thing as it means that now Lily Rose is as dull and boring as the rest of us, settled into a life of contentment and I couldn't be happier for her.
