Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - '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 strang…ers 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.
