by June Steenkamp

The true story of the girl at the heart of the most dramatic trial of the 21st Century, and of the girl at its heart.

FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New

Publisher Description

In the early hours of Valentine's Day 2013, Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, shooting her multiple times while she cowered behind the locked door of their bathroom. His trial has attracted more international media attention and public scrutiny than any since that of OJ Simpson.



What went on behind the scenes though? And what was the real Reeva like, away from the photo shoots and the attention of the media? A beautiful 29 year old from Port Elizabeth, Reeva graduated as a lawyer and campaigned for human rights causes before deciding to try the world of modelling in South Africa's most vibrant city. Her relationship with international hero Oscar Pistorius seemed like a fairy tale of triumph over adversity - double amputee turned champion athlete meets small town girl with beauty and brains wanting to make her mark on the world. No one could have predicted the tragic and horrifying conclusion to that fairy tale.



Reeva's mother, June Steenkamp, has kept a dignified silence throughout the long months since she received the phone call every mother dreads. In this painfully honest and unflinching account of Reeva's life, she talks about what really went on in her mind as she sat in the packed Pretoria court room day after day and how she is coping in the aftermath of the verdict. Reeva is the only true insider's account of this tragic story.

Description for Press or Other Media

In the early hours of Valentine's Day 2013, Oscar Pistorius killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, shooting her multiple times while she cowered behind the locked door of their bathroom. His trial has attracted more international media attention than any since that of OJ Simpson. And small wonder - an elite athlete, a glamorous victim, and and a violent end are always likely to make thrilling copy. But among all the headlines and dramatic scenes in court, very little has been revealed about the life of the victim, Reeva Steenkamp. A beautiful 29 year old from Port Elizabeth, it's easy to imagine Reeva as the child of a privileged upbringing whose looks had opened doors without any effort. But the truth is markedly different - brought up on a farm, she worked hard at everything she turned her hand to, graduating as a lawyer and campaigning passionately for human rights causes before being tempted by the world of modelling and the party scene of South Africa's largest city. She met Pistorius, and together they embarked on a relationship that seemed destined to mark them out as her country's answer to the Beckhams. But what went on behind the scenes? And what was the real Reeva like, away from the photo shoots and the attention of the media? Her mother knows, and sets the record straight in this book. Powerful and unflinching, and revealing all the details of the sensational trial and its verdict, Reeva offers the only true insider's account of this tragic story.
