About this ebook
In 1992, at just nine-years-old, Katie Beers was kidnapped by a family friend and locked in a box underground for 17 days. Now, she has 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.
After the death of her kidnapper, John Esposito, Katie is ready to reveal her inspiring healing process and how this horrifying experience has affected her life. Buried Memories is the only source that covers in complete detail Katie's traumatic childhood, the transcriptions of Esposito's recordings, and Katie's first-hand account of how she felt after her kidnapper's death. 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.
