I have seen Jaycee Dugard on a few specials and always admired her outlook on life. I knew I wanted to read about her captivity and what she over came.I believe she was very frank in this book and reported everything as she could remember it. She is now 31 years old and she was abducted at 11. There are some pretty explicit passages in the beginning of this book, but they are kept in context as to what she was going thru at the time. It is obvious that she was brain washed by this monster and his sick wife. These people had to be mentally ill to abduct and hold her hostage for 18 years. They were both sick sick disgusting people.

Toward the end of the book she begins to finally get back a shred of self worth and confidence and she takes you thru the process.

I really admire the out look she has on life and her method of forgiveness. After reading this book, any problem that I have seems like a pebble on a mountain in comparison.
