Since Jaycee was found I wanted to know her story. Not from tabloids or some other author giving ideas but only from her. I was thrilled when I heard she had decided to write a book about her story. The story is heart wrenching. Jaycee doesn't hold back and let's us know, in detail, what she went through. She lets us understand how manipulated she was and why escape didn't feel possible. I thought she did a wonderful job at conveying her feelings and thought that the reflections she put at the end of chapters where very helpful in seeing how things were and how she sees them now. Near the end of the book where she is reunited with her mother made me cry so hard that I had to put the book down.
I'm so proud of Jaycee. Not because she survived physically but because she survived mentally. That is a task in itself. I don't know if I could have been able to. I also loved reading about all of the wonderful people who were there for her and her daughters when she was rescued. To know that these caring people all chipped in and helped her out warms my heart. A wonderful book and highly recommended.
