A Stolen Life/ Jaycee Dugard/ 273 pages



This was a difficult book to read since it was about her 18 year ordeal of being kidnapped at age 11 by a crazy sexual predator. She keeps the horrible details to a minimum, but it is still difficult to read.

What shines through is her resilience, her intelligence, and her desire to move forward with her life. I don't know that I could have done that well. Many p.o.w.'s come back in worse shape.

She now has a lawsuit against the government because of the many, many times her captor could and should have been sent back to prison and wasn't. I hope she is successful. It was a needless waste that no one found her.
