Synopsis
Some tragedies become part of our national history. On August 4, 2002 Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman disappeared. For the next thirteen days their families, the police, and the local community searched for them, while the nation watched in horrific suspense. Almost two weeks after Holly and Jessica went missing, their bodies were found. Two days later Ian Huntley was charged with their murders.
In the terrible weeks that followed Kevin started to make notes, fearful that he might forget important details. GOODBYE, DEAREST HOLLY tells the story of the nightmare that began on August 4th, from the moment it became clear that Holly and Jessica were missing, through the long investigation and its aftermath. An unflinching tale of surviving tragedy, Kevin's diaries tell of battles with the media, police bureaucracy and the legal system. The book also includes a gripping account of the trial and convictions of Huntley and Maxine Carr. Above all, GOODBYE, DEAREST HOLLY is a loving act of fatherhood.

Review
A brutally honest account of what happens when innocence meets evil. Kevin Wells' book is about a father's love, a family's loss and a nation's horror. If you want to know the true story of Soham then read it. (Sarah Oliver, Mail on Sunday)
From the Publisher
My company made the ITV film Our Daughter Holly and that is why we are publishing Kevin's book. We are very proud to be doing so. Goodbye, Dearest Holly gives a brutally frank account of what it feels like to be caught up in such a trauma - and tells how the Wells family have survived their ordeal. The book is not just very truthful but of great relevance to a number of professions - including the police, teachers and social workers.
Sarah Oliver of the Mail on Sunday has followed the story
and read the book. She told us; "A brutally honest account of what happens when innocence meets evil. Kevin Wells' book is about a father's love, a family's loss and a nation's horror. If you want to know the true story of Soham, read it."
