This is Gemma Dowler's powerful account, as seen on The One Show
and This Morning . . . '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.
