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."

Hard to hear but an incredible journey
Spoken by Jaycee herself is hard not be be moved, repulsed and consumed by this book.

A brilliantly written and narrated book
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Horrific at times, but overall inspirational. It's hard to believe all she went through and she still comes across so happy and positive. Jaycee' s story is very sad, yet the happy ending is truly wonderful. I am going to download her second book next to continue hearing the happier side of her story.

Awe inspiring young lady and story
Where does A Stolen Life rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
amazed at her bravery especially when first abducted at age 11. She has a real ability to understand her captors' characters which she uses to make things more bearable for her. Such a strong girl. I was in awe of her. Very sad. My favourite bit was when she befriended a spider in her room because she was so lonely. She used to talk to it and named it Bianca. This brought tears to my eyes.
What other book might you compare A Stolen Life to, and why?
I was very interested but not sure i could read another abduction book for a while as so sad.
Have you listened to any of Jaycee Dugard’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Yes by being completely open and honest.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Nothing i was glad the author read it.
Any additional comments?
one of the things that came across in her story was her utter selflessness. She really believed that it was best that philip had chosen her so that another child did not have to gonthrough what she had. Amazing!! Would thoroughly recommend people to read this.

What a wonderful young woman
I can't praise this book enough. This strong young woman and mother is obviously very intelligent too. I hope she continues to gain strength in her life and relationships, and I hope she continues to write. I will read or listen to anything she has to offer. She manages to get her heartbreaking story across so well. I'm very glad she chose to read this audio book herself. It made it SO powerful.

Such a sad book - It had to be told -
Jaycee was very brave writing this book, it must have been so difficult for her re living all of those years. It was interesting, but very sad at the same time. There were graphic sexual chapters which bravely she left in the book.
