Publisher Description
An instant #1 New York Times bestseller—Jaycee Dugard’s raw and powerful memoir, her own story of being kidnapped in 1991 and held captive for more than eighteen years.
In the summer of June of 1991, I was a normal kid. I did normal things. I had friends and a mother that loved me. I was just like you. Until the day my life was stolen.
For eighteen years I was a prisoner. I was an object for someone to use and abuse. For eighteen years I was not allowed to speak my own name. I became a mother and was forced to be a sister. For eighteen years I survived an impossible situation.
On August 26, 2009, I took my name back. My name is Jaycee Lee Dugard. I don’t think of myself as a victim, I simply survived an intolerable situation. A Stolen Life is my story—in my own words, in my own way, exactly as I remember it.
Customer Reviews
Jaycee is an angel
Her story is heartbreaking but her resilience is inspiring. I can’t wait to listen to her 2nd book.
A very inspiring story.
I was particularly drawn to the story because for a short time I lived in the same neighborhood that Jaycee was held captive. The details of this story are difficult to listen to at times, but the overall outcome is truly inspiring. I would definitely recommend this book.
