At 11, Jaycee is abducted by a stranger and held in captivity for 18 years. This is the story of her kidnapping, her time in "the backyard," and her rescue and recovery.
I thought this memoir was very well done. It's a little all over the place at times, but she starts the book with the explanation of why she wrote the book the way she did. It was hard to read at times, because she went through a horrible ordeal. I commend her bravery to tell her story. It can't be easy to put some of this stuff out there for the whole world to see, but she doesn't want to protect her abuser by keeping quiet about what he did. Great memoir.
