Book Review and Giveaway: A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard

Synopsis: When Jaycee Dugard was eleven years old, she was abducted from a school bus stop within sight of her home in South Lake Tahoe, California. She was missing for more than eighteen years, held captive by Phillip Craig and Nancy Garrido, and gave birth to two daughters during her imprisonment. 


On August 26, 2009, Garrido showed up for a meeting with his parole officer; he brought Jaycee, her daughters, and his wife Nancy with him. Their unusual behavior raised suspicions and an investigation revealed the tent behind the Garridos’ home where Jaycee had been living for nearly two decades.

A Stolen Life was written by Jaycee herself and covers the period from the time of her abduction in 1991 up until the present. In her stark, compelling narrative, she opens up about what she experienced—and offers an extraordinary account of courage and resilience.

Jaycee Dugard is now 30 years old and has 2 daughters.

Review: Mom read this one, as I was snowed under with books when it came it. It was hard for her to write a review. Jaycee's story is every mother's nightmare, and as such, is hard to read, as you will be imagining it happening to your child or grandchild. The fact that she survived her ordeal and is making a life for herself, and her two daughters, is the best ending that could come from her story. If you are interested in hearing Jaycee's story, from herself, then you'll want to win this book!
