Kindle Addition

Published July 12th 2011 by Simon & Schuster Adult Publishing Group

Description: In the summer of 1991 I was a normal kid. I did normal things. I had friends and a mother who 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 survived.

A Stolen Life is my story—in my own words, in my own way, exactly as I remember it.

My Thoughts: I have been glued to this story every since she was found.. I remember as a child hearing about her disappearance and to be found after all those years is amazing. So when I hear of this book she was writing I waited and waited to buy it and read it.

I was brought to tears through out this book and even had a laugh or two with Jaycee. This is a book written in her own words about her abduction, what she had to go through and her struggle to reconnect with her family after all those years. Jaycee Lee Dugard took her name and her life back. I had a hard time putting down this book unless I was crying to hard to just read on... I'm not to sure I could of held myself together for all those years like Jaycee did...

Jaycee is truly an amazing women, not only for her survival but she survived without hatred in her heart. I know I could of never came out of something like this with out hatred. She is so brave to even tell this story in great detail as she did.

She has two girls and the conditions she had to go through not only for her but for her children were so horrible. I can't imagine giving birth to my children in a back yard with no medical attention or even any medicine to help with the pain... Jaycee had no choice but to do just that and to make sure her girls had the best education that she herself could give them.

I could go on and on about this book but I will not... I don't want to spoil to much of it for the rest of you. I highly recommend reading this book but make sure you have a box of Kleenex's on hand because you will need them.
