A Stolen Life

Author(s): Jaycee Dugard

Adult Non-Fiction

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 don't 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.   ---   The pine cone is a symbol that represents the seed of a new beginning for me. To help facilitate new beginnings, with the support of animal-assisted therapy, the J A Y C Foundation provides support and services for the timely treatment of families recovering from abduction and the aftermath of traumatic experiences--families like my own who need to learn how to heal. In addition, the J A Y C Foundation hopes to facilitate awareness in schools about the important need to care for one another.   Our motto is "Just Ask Yourself to . . . Care "   A portion of my proceeds from this memoir will be donated to The J A Y C Foundation Inc.   www.thejaycfoundation.org
