This is the story of Jaycee Dugard in her own words. She was kidnapped in 1991 and was found in the Summer of 2009. She was abducted while on her way to the bus stop. Her Stepdad witnessed the abduction but nothing ever became of those leads. She was kept captive for 18 years and the backyard of a convicted rapist. She became dependent on her captives and knew no other life then that backyard. She worried for her girls and was too shy to ever fight for herself. Finally some astute U Berkley employees did not ignore and finally questioned. When she was found her daughters were aged 11 & 15.
I found this book was very easy to read. I cringed as I read the book but kept pushing forward. The Journal entries give you a sense of her at that time in her life, they were difficult for me to get through. She does a very good job of writing her story and you feel like you are in the room and she is telling you her story. You become a captive audience. I like the way she tells her story and does not sugarcoat it for anybody.
