Freedom

My Book of Firsts

De: Jaycee Dugard

Narrado por: Jaycee Dugard

In the follow-up to her #1 bestselling memoir, A Stolen Life, Jaycee Dugard tells the story of her first experiences after years in captivity: the joys that accompanied her newfound freedom and the challenges of adjusting to life on her own.

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 Philip and Nancy Garrido, and gave birth to two daughters during her imprisonment.

In A Stolen Life Jaycee told the story of her life from her abduction in 1991 through her reappearance in 2009. Freedom: My Book of Firsts is about everything that happened next.

“How do you rebuild a life?” Jaycee asks. In these pages, she describes the life she never thought she would live to see: from her first sight of her mother to her first time meeting her grownup sister, her first trip to the dentist to her daughters’ first day of school, her first taste of champagne to her first hangover, her first time behind the wheel to her first speeding ticket, and her first dance at a friend’s wedding to her first thoughts about the possibility of a future relationship.

This raw and inspiring book will remind you that there is, as Jaycee writes, “life after something tragic happens…Somehow, I still believe that we each hold the key to our own happiness and you have to grab it where you can in whatever form it might take.” Freedom is an awe-inspiring memoir about the power we all hold within ourselves.

Thank you Jaycee for surviving!

Awesome continuance, I hope you continue to inspire. I am looking forward to your next writing, I know you love to write.

Pass on This 2.5*

Her first book was quite good but this one is...well, boring. Not everyone is an author. I have the utmost respect for her personally but to be fair to readers/listeners, I couldn't possibly recommend this book. I'm rooting for your continued success, Jaycee, and can't imagine the horrors you have survived and overcome. Bless you and all the best to you! You are still an amazing person.

good book

Love it. Enjoy how positive. she is and dispite everything she been thrust she so happy and positive.

Told me everything I wanted to know after reading the first book.

Just as good as the first book! A lot of short stories and life lessons. She values the little things in life that many people don’t even bother acknowledging anymore.

Seeing The World Through JayCee

Jaycee, thank you for letting me see the world through your eyes. It has been uplifting, wonderful experience.

The knowledge Jaycee gives to you by allowing us to see the world through her is amazing.

Thank You!!
