About this listen

In 1992, nine-year-old Katie Beers was kidnapped by a family friend and locked in an underground box for 17 days. Katie has now come forward to tell the story that created a national media storm as reporters uncovered the truth about her prekidnapping life of neglect and sexual abuse and the details of her rescue. She shares how this experience and the recent death of her kidnapper, John Esposito, has affected her life. 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. Katie breaks her silence and reveals her inspiring healing process to the journalist who covered the story of the disappearance more than 20 years ago.

Buried Memories is the only source that includes the complete details of her traumatic childhood, transcriptions of recordings from Esposito, a firsthand account of how Katie felt after Esposito's death in 2013, and Katie's hopeful view of the future as she looks back into her dark past.

WOW!
What a story! Only it's NOT just a "STORY"!
To think that people, kids live through this absolutely horrific abuse utterly astounds me.
I could say poor Kattie & every other person who has lived through & currently living through this type of abuse, however, Kattie & many other survivors, seem to come out the "other side" stronger versions of themselves. I take my hat off to you Kattie you have shown in this book just how resilient the human spirit is. You are an amazing person & shown that we MUST keep talking about the disgusting acts other human beings can bestow on other human beings. Also that we MUST keep our own children close & safe, because evil lerks around every corner.
Much love to you & your family Kattie. Keep on keeping on.

I cannot believe what this poor little girl endured. So smart. From such a young age to be betrayed by those who were meant to love and protect her. Her absentee biological mother should’ve picked up on what was going on if she had spent any time with her beautiful innocent children. Her survival and smarts at such a young age is amazing. I’m so happy she ended up in a loving normal functioning family. Katie thank you so much for sharing your story. May God bless you snd your beautiful family. Your such an inspiration. Thank you so much.

Brave and strong Katie.
