About this audiobook
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.

This was a very well written book. I can't believe how strong she is after going through such terrible things. She is a true inspiration in my book. Make sure you have tissue with you.

Jaycee Dugard you're right your not the only person that had to deal with a
Nasty Adult. I am deeply Sorry that you were taken and had to go through
all of it by yourself but keep your up. Congrats on your book. Thanks so
much, Jamie

INSPIRING. Reading this book was difficult at times, due to the graphicness of what she endured. Jaycee's strength knows no bounds. What a sensational person.
