About this product

Product Information

You've seen Manhunt, now read this powerful and personal account from Milly Dowler's sister Gemma . . . 'My name is Gemma Dowler. On 21 March 2002, a serial killer named Levi Bellfield stole my sister and sent our family to Hell . . .' Everyone thinks they know the story of Milly Dowler. Haunting headlines about the missing schoolgirl splashed across front pages. The family's worst fears realised when her body was found months later. The years of waiting for the truth, only to learn that the killer, known to the police, lived just yards from where Milly had vanished. The parents subjected to horrific psychological torture at a trial orchestrated by the murderer. And the shocking revelation of what journalists would do for a story - criminal acts that brought down a national newspaper. But these bare facts hide the true story. In My Sister Milly, Gemma Dowler shares the heartbreaking account of Milly's disappearance, the suspicions that fell on the family, the fatal errors made by the police, and the media's obsession that focused relentlessly on every personal, intimate and emotional aspect of the Dowlers' lives. It is the story of two stolen childhoods - Milly's and Gemma's - and about the love that kept the family together as they struggled with terrible darkness and injustice. However, this book is a story of hope and recovery. It's taken fifteen years of pain for the family to find their voice. The family has worked hard and has received intensive therapy to recover from the trauma of Milly's murder. Their story shows that whatever suffering you endure in life, there is always hope, and there is always love. Now, for the first time, Gemma tells their story and that of the real Milly. Above all, in this book the family want to bring back to life their incredible daughter and sister. Now, finally, the truth about Milly Dowler can never be denied.

  • incredible read

    This book is written beautifully but is harrowing. I couldn't put it down, I desperately wanted Gemma's pain to end but of course it never will. I feel guilty that the family has had to suffer so much. It shows the true hypocrisy of the law in this country. Shame on the legal system, shame on the judge for allowing Bellfield to continue his evil reign even in the court room. I have been deeply moved by this account of the horrific ordeal the Dowler's have had to endure. I often think of the Dowler's and cant imagine anyone having to endure a fragment of the trauma they have had to. Gemma's portrayal of a fabulously normal gorgeous family was perfection. I could feel the love and happiness oozing from those pages. I encourage anyone who reads to read this. it is captivating.

  • A tragic homage

    This is a sad sad story about one sisters loss of another, the opposite of sibling rivalry and a beautiful homage to a tragic victim - the book is very long but makes an interesting read of a tragic story
