Notes From Your BooksellerThe devastating true story of the author’s life before and after being kidnapped for 18 years. This is a poignant and brave narrative of what it means to have your life stolen, and how to get it back.
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.
