Loving Natalee: The True Story of the Aruba Kidnapping & It's Aftermath

What a sad story! I hope that other teenagers read this book so that they will think twice about traveling to other countries for their senior trips. It was a well written book. I would recommend this book to everyone!

My heart goes out to Beth

I have always had a soft spot for Beth and Dave Holloway. I can't even imagine the heartbreak and distress of losing a child. Having two girls myself, it is simply unimaginable. Natalee was such a beautiful young woman who didn't deserve what happened to her. I admire Beth for her perserverance when she must have wanted many times, especially during the beginning of this ordeal, to just curl up and die; instead she stood strong for the purpose of finding out what happened to her beloved Natalee. The part of the book that stands out to me of which I will never forget is when she dropped Natalee off at her friend's house to go to Aruba the next day. She said she started to drive away, turned and got one last glance of Natalee, which was the last time she ever saw her.... God bless you, Beth and Dave. May your prayers be answered that you find out where Natalee is.

Loving Natalee: A Mother's Testament of Hope and Faith

This is a sad (true story) written by an amazing mother on a mission in search of answers to what happened to her daughter, Natalee. A MUST READ!

The Truth, finally told about Aruba's Corruption

I have followed the case since day one, and was thrilled with this book. The truth needs to be told, and Natalee's mother has told it. This mother is fierce in her fight for justice, and her faith in God. Powerful and gripping, you will not be able to put it down. I personally thank Beth for the foundation she has started to try and help all of us so that this will not happen to us or our loved ones. The negative reviews on this site are from those very people who where thwarting Beth at every turn in Aruba. I reported reviews that where on here before the book even came out, they were from the hateful victim bashers. I am glad to see they were removed, as those people had not even read the book.

PAGE TURNER! A MUST READ!

I just finished the book and it is riveting! If you even casually followed the news surrounding this case, the book will grip you! Beth is a very skilled writer and has the passion to drive the story straight to the readers heart. The facts of the case are laid out just as they occured, woven amidst the strength, vulnerabilities, and determination of a Mother's love. Beth Holloway is inspiring. In addition to a great read, I think the book should be required reading for anyone who contemplates traveling. I stayed up late, unable to put the book down.
