Reviews"Dugard's inspirational story…is a firsthand testament to the resilience of the human spirit."- USA Today, "This little memoir...was written plainly and simply by Dugard herself, without the help of a ghostwriter. And in that, it is powerful beyond its voyeurism…reading the experience in her own words is a revelation."- The Washington Post

SynopsisJaycee Dugard's New York Times bestselling memoir chronicles her raw and powerful story of being kidnapped in 1991 and held captive for more than eighteen years. 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.

  • Inspiring and Illuminating

    Jaycee was just a little girl when this horrid human being kidnapped her. Jaycee was brave and strong enough to detail graphic details of what pedophile men do to poor little and defenseless children. He truly stole her life, her self, her true personality. However, she was able to stay strong and overcome her past. What an incredible message for all of those who have been thru traumatic events! We all need to be thankful for the little things we have in life.

  • Tragic but simply told story

    As Jaycee only got through to 5th grade her writing skills are limited. But this is a tragic story and the truth of it is compelling enough. I’m at a loss for how she didn’t leave him much sooner than she did. It was like she was hypnotized. Fast read but I didn’t come away with answers to my questions.

  • True but so sad

    I am happy to know that after all she went through she was able to write this book. Such an inhumane thing to happen to anyone.. Yet she seems to come out of it with a good attitude, by that I mean she can still live her life and be a normal person. And she loves her 2 daughters. She truly had a stolen life taken from her.
