A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard

If you ever want to read a true story about a girl who was kidnapped, A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard is the book to read. It is her memoir of her kidnapping and captivity in her captor's backyard. For eighteen years she was held against her will. Jaycee was kidnapped at age 11, and wasn't rescued until she was 29. She was continually raped until she was 17, when she became pregnant with her second child. This is a dramatic heartbreaking story about a violated young girl. It is a story of survival. I'd recommend this book to anyone. Jaycee created a foundation where others can donate to help recovering families and to help facilitate awareness. After reading her story, the reader cares about her life and the lives of others who have been effected by this awful criminal activity.
