This May 6 marks the 4th anniversary of the miraculous escape of Amanda Berry and 2 other women who lived abducted for a decade by the Puerto Rican Ariel Castro in Cleveland, Ohio.
The ordeal of the 3 women and the daughter that one of them born in captivity went around the world after her release was known and the fact that her torturer - known since then as the Monster of Cleveland - worked as a school bus driver during the day.
Berry was locked up together with Gina de Jesús and Lili Rose Lee - formerly known as Michelle Knight - in a house where her captor frequently kept them tied with chains and ropes.
The 3 survivors have worked hard to rebuild their lives and have taken new directions, to get ahead after the horrible experience.
Knight, who is currently 36 years old, says she changed her name to Lily Rose in honor of her favorite flowers and wrote Finding M e, a book that was placed on the New York Times bestseller list when it went on sale.. Now, the woman is preparing her second volume, which will be called Life After Darkness: My Journey to Happiness.
"She has kept a very discreet profile," says Georgina Levitt, director of Wienstein Books, publishers of women, about her current life. Levitt assures that in the new book (to be published in 2018, for the author's fifth anniversary of freedom) there will be "revelations about her life."
In her previous book, the author has confessed that she had a troubled childhood and that it was this that helped her during her darkest hours in captivity.
