Representatives of the parents of missing British girl
Madeleine
McCann have revealed this week that a book describing their
ordeal since the disappearance of their daughter in May 2007 in the
Algarve will be published next spring
In a statement sent to The Portugal News,
Kate McCann explained there were several different reasons as to why she and her
husband Gerry came to the decision to write and publish a
book.
“This decision has not been an easy one. Many factors needed to be given
thorough and careful consideration, not least the impact of such a book
on the lives of our three children. My reason for writing is simple; to
give an account of the truth”, explained Mrs. McCann.
“Publishing this book has been a very difficult decision and is one that
we have taken after much deliberation and with a very heavy heart.
However, in the last few months with the depletion of
Madeleine’s
Fund, it is a decision that has virtually been taken out of
our hands”, she explained, adding: “Every penny we raise through its
sales will be spent on our search for Madeleine. Nothing is more
important to us than finding our little girl.”
Meanwhile, Madeleine’s father Gerry said: “We are hopeful that this
book
may
help the investigation to find Madeleine in other ways too. Our hope is
that it may prompt those who have relevant information (knowingly or
not) to come forward and share it with our
team.
Somebody holds that key piece of the jigsaw.”
Bill Scott-Kerr, Publisher at Transworld, bought the book from the
Christopher Little Literary Agency for publication in the spring of
2011. All royalties will be donated directly to Madeleine’s Fund –
Leaving No Stone Unturned Limited.
