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.
Given the sensitive nature of the crimes in this case, this book only appears on the site for the way it gives a voice to the family of Milly Dowler.
This is a dedicated police investigation which brought about some kind of justice for the victims’s families. Justice does not bring the women back however. This book makes the victims and the victims families voices the loudest of them all.
