This is the Story of Sara's life and the sad and early death of a beautifull eight year old girl
"Sarah was abducted on July 1. The family had spent the afternoon together on the beach near her grandparents' home in Kingston Gorse, West Sussex. At the end of the day the four children walked into a field of wheat. But Sarah turned back - and was thought to have been grabbed by a man in a white van. Her body was found 16 days later. Sara remembers her daughter racing across the sands on that last day. She said. "The sun was shining on her and she was wearing her blue dress. I have replayed this scene in my mind a thousand times. "It is my last memory of her, full of life - a typical eight-year-old. She was picking up shells and splashing along the water's edge. "Her long hair was billowing in the wind and she wore a massive smile. Always smiling."
RIP Sarah ...
I have read this book as I said three times now and each time I am amazed at the strength of Sara in such a tragic time, she is an amazing woman, this is a book I recomend to you and will read again myself some day
you can find the book in most bookshops priced around £6.99
