A Stolen Life - A Memoir

This memoir is written by Jaycee Dugard. She narrates her memories and experiences of her 11-year-old to 29-year-old self. Between every chapter she also includes her present day reflections on the events which had occurred. It is astonishing how vivid she stills remembers these shocking memories. From the first day to the last, for eighteen years, Jaycee Dugard had lived with fear and injustice.

This memoir is written by Jaycee Dugard. She narrates from her 11-year-old self through 18 traumatic years of her life. Between each chapter, she includes a chapter of her reflection of each occasion in the previous chapter. She is now a 32-year-old woman with her two children she had with her sexual assaulter.

This is a moving book that touches the hearts of a lot of people. Her bold feelings are expressed without a doubt. As you read, you can feel how she felt. As she described how frightened or enraged or any kind of emotion she had, she somehow manages to communicate right through the book.

In the book, it seemed as if she had already stopped searching for who she really was. The monstrous abductors, Philip and Nancy Garrido, trusted her so much that she could even go out the house by herself. Yet even so, she did not attempt to escape or cry for help. She had felt as if she was completely lost and forgotten in the eyes of society.

This is an incredibly moving and fearless memoir.
