The decision to publish the 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 four 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.
Gerry McCann says: It is a sad fact that not a single police force anywhere is proactively looking forMadeleine (as is the case for many other missing children). I am sure this book will re-energize the search for our daughter and the public will get behind the Find Madeleine campaign once again. It is simply unacceptable that the authorities could give up on Madeleine - especially without a single review of the case having been carried out. Our daughter, and whoever took her, are out there. We need your help to find them.

"This book is harrowing, but a very important account by the mother of Madeleine McCann of the events surrounding before and since Madeleine's disappearance. I can't begin to understand how or why people still find no sympathy for them or feel it necessary to judge them. What they have gone through no human being should go through, or have to go through. They made an innocent mistake, one that parents have done without consequences millions of times before. My heart absolutely goes out to them and I hope so much Madeleine will be returned safe and alive to them soon."
