JanaRose1 | Aug 24, 2022 |   Katie is an amazingly brave person. The abuse she endured is heartbreaking. I couldn't believe that adults could so horribly abuse an innocent girl. Her strength in over coming her abuse and having a functional, loving live is truly astounding. Its very inspirational to know that everything can be overcome. (  ) sscarllet | Dec 15, 2015 |  ) jwood652 | Oct 21, 2015 | ) jwood652 | Oct 21, 2015 | Soon Katie finds herself living with her "Godparents" Linda and Sal Inghilleri. The sexual abuse by Sal Inghilleri began when Katie was only two years old and escalated as she got older. Linda, who was disabled and in a wheelchair, was also abusive, making Katie do all the chores and errands at a very very young age. Then, on December 28, 1992, two days before her tenth birthday, Katie is kidnapped by a family friend, John Esposito, and hidden away in a coffin sized bunker underneath Esposito's garage. He kept her there for 16 days, raping and molesting her and providing her with only the basic needs to survive. Finally, Esposito turns himself in to authorities and Katie is found. She was adopted by her foster family and went on to college, married, and has children. Katie has adapted well to life after her ordeal but her scars are far from healed.

UPDATED: New chapters from Katie In 1992, nine-year-old Katie Beers was kidnapped by a family friend and locked in an underground box for 17 days. Katie has now come forward to tell the story that created a national media storm as reporters uncovered the truth about her pre-kidnapping life of neglect and sexual abuse and the details of her rescue. She shares how this experience and the recent death of her kidnapper, John Esposito, has affected her life. Despite the horrible reality of Katie's days of being chained in darkness, the kidnapping was, in fact, the climactic end of a tragic childhood and the beginning of a new life. Katie breaks her silence and reveals her inspiring healing process to the journalist who covered the story of the disappearance more than twenty years ago. Buried Memories is the only source that includes the complete details of her traumatic childhood, transcriptions of recordings from Esposito, a first-hand account of how Katie felt after Esposito's death in 2013, and Katie's hopeful view of the future as she looks back into her dark past.

While Katie's story was extremely compelling and heartbreaking, the book was not well written. The book was all over the place, jumping from one even to another. I really did not need or want the reporter's point of view, it took away from the power of Katie's story. 3 out of 5 stars. (
