Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook of My Sister Milly by Gemma Dowler, read by Ruby Thomas.
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 15 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.

Tragic, and breathtakingly heroic
I didn't know what to expect from this book. I only remember the case because it happened so soon after the death of my husband.
I listened to the book over three days, not able to stop listening. What this family had to go through was unbelievable, I can't understand what the Police did to them. Not only that, but the way the despicable lowlife treated them at his trial.
I'm so glad they are coming out the other side, and beginning to live again, and Milly through them. I hail them all for the hero's they are.

Heart warming and wrenching
Laughed and cried along with this lovely family who were so let down time and time again. This story needed to be told to the world but mostly as part of their healing process. Long live Milly's memory!

A brave and open book
A beautifully written account of the most harrowing experience a family could suffer. Written with integrity and dignity despite having often been shown little of that themselves. A must read that I cant praise highly enough.

If words could sing....
What a triumphant courageous tribute to a beautiful young lady. Through these words I really felt for the wonderful Dowler family....they really are so special and brave.
Very well written, gives real insight into the reality of the justice system. I'm just so sorry that such an appalling tale is true.
Sending my love to the Dowler family X

I was so angry at the treatment your family received from the police, court system and press .
Wishing you all peace, health and happiness in the future.
Thank you for sharing your story.
