Book description
'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
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.
