Publisher's summary

"In the summer of 1991 I was a normal kid. I did normal things. I had friends and a mother who loved me. I was just like you. Until the day my life was stolen. For eighteen years I was a prisoner. I was an object for someone to use and abuse. For eighteen years I was not allowed to speak my own name. I became a mother and was forced to be a sister. For eighteen years I survived an impossible situation. On August 26, 2009, I took my name back. My name is Jaycee Lee Dugard. I dont think of myself as a victim. I survived. A Stolen Life is my story in my own words, in my own way, exactly as I remember it."

Heartbreaking and uplifting

Such courage and wisdom, from a young age. To go through such a horrible, situation and to become the lady you are, is a testimony! My prayers are with you and your family as you continue your journey to healing and a healthy life! You are extraordinary.

Heart wrenching, yet hopeful

I can’t imagine living through this, Jaycee told her story so eloquently and expressively. I could not stop listening and will be listening to her 2nd book also!

Bleh!

The narrator is so hard to listen to. She talks about cats a lot and seems to be all over the place. Really hard to follow. I’m annoyed I purchased it.

should have hired a professional to read this

I knew the story, follow the story, and perhaps my expectations were too high but the book left me with a lot of questions. Also I struggled to finish this book. Her somewhat monotone voice was not engaging for me definitely if you like true crime this is a good story but there are far better done tales out there.

This one will haunt you

I love hearing people tell their own stories, and since this case has had so much press over the years I was somewhat familiar with it. So I thought I’d give it a try.
In the past when I’ve read a review that said “ this one will keep you up at night” I was always skeptical. This one will indeed keep you up at night.
Jaycee is incredible, and a true example of giving grace.
This is a very tough listen, and you can’t un hear it. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of that. It should probably come with a warning.

Tearjerker

From the point of a mother, this just brought me to tears. I am so sorry this happened to you. May God bless you now and forever, and don’t ever think it was His fault; God never left you. Angels don’t do bad, they do good. Philips “angels” were demons.

Heartbreaking but interesting story

Heartbreaking story but good ending. I was shocked by the details of the story and how long it was going on without being found out. I had a hard time listening to the reading though.

Happy Ending!

This is such a heartbreaking story but truly has a happy ending. Jaycee is such a brave and strong person and I’m so glad she shared her story with us and it’s such a great book, so hard to listen to at times but this story was her real life and I’m so happy for her and her family that she lived through that nightmare.
