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.

Heart breaking and powerful.
An unbelievably true and heart wrenching account of a tragic story. Gemma Dowler has done an amazing job off getting her family's story told. It's a difficult listen at times but there are really important issues and lessons to be learnt. What a brave inspirational and amazing family the Dowlers are!

What a moving and wonderfully written but deeply moving account
The love for her sister is evident from the first chapter, so moving and genuinely upsetting but also compelling.

Best book I’ve ever read.
A rollercoaster of emotions, a life changing book for me, I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to read it but I couldn’t stop once I’d started. Also a very brave and difficult book for Gemma to write.

Breathtakingly powerful read
Best wishes to the Dowler family. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Millys personality and loveliness is what shone through the pages, and what a strong family to endure such harrowing awfulness for so long. Having seen it all through the Media's eyes at the time it was nice to actually read the truth. A lasting tribute to Milly.

Incredibly emotional
That was an incredibly well written and narrated book. It was harrowing to listen to, but really made you feel you knew the family and wonderful Millie by the end of it. You’ve done your sister proud x

Harrowing and heartfelt
Beautifully written from the depths of this family’s soul. I had no idea the extent of what they were subjected to and felt enraged for them at many points in this book .
It must have taken everything Gemma Dowler had to write this and essentially relive it - she has done an excellent job of telling her sisters story and raising our awareness of so many issues surrounding it .

All of the emotions are palpable
Beautifully written account of true love and devastating loss.
I lost count of the times I cried.
It’s easy to tell how much love this family have for each other, and quite amazing the way they have managed to get that across through words.
All of the emotions all of the way through are palpable.
A heartbreakingly sad and truly inspiring read.
