About this ebook
Kate McCann's personal account of the disappearance and continuing search for her daughter, revised and updated.
'The decision to publish this 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 five 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.' -- Kate McCann

It's a great book, if you are taken in by their PR machine telling you what to believe...did you know that parts of this book were actually written the same night Madeline disappeared, rather than searching for her daughter? The official police files (Pjfiles) were made public in 2008, and are online for anybody who is interested in the case, to read. I would suggest saving your money here and read the official evidence files instead of a book which depicts a story all about Kate.

Why would they kill madeleine what would they gain from it and they had no transport until after when the media was following them so how could they get rid of the body and there's no body which could suggest she's still alive I think the police should search the paedophile sites and sex rings and if they have and haven't found her then I don't know what else to suggest all I know is someone somewhere knows something and it's time they confessed surely it's playing on your consions

What really happened is that when the kids finished playing in the pool the mum went to go get a fruit shoot or whatever kids during is over in Portugal and then drugged her then they put here to bed and when they went searching for her the dad got a suitcase or a bag put Madeleine inside there . Them hoping to get claims from social services for money and then they got famous from it and for your interest they could of gone the the beach and chucked the suitcase or Bag into the water .
About the author
Madeleine McCann was abducted in Praia da Luz, Portugal on Thursday, 3 May 2007. Kate and Gerry McCann established 'Madeleine's Fund: Leaving No Stone Unturned' in response to the many generous donations that started to flood in from the general public who were wanting to help the search for their daughter in some way. As there had been no police force in the world actively looking for Madeleine since July 2008, the fund enabled a small team of committed and experienced people to investigate Madeleine's disappearance. It continues to support the search and also runs awareness campaigns in several countries, to ensure the public know that Madeleine is still missing, and to encourage them to remain vigilant.
Once Madeleine has been found, the fund will be used to assist searches for other missing children worldwide.
