Amazing...The power of the human spirit never ceases to amaze me. A true survivor story.
I almost feel bad giving this a 3 out of 5 stars. There is no doubt that Jaycee Dugard went though hell with the Garridos, and an almost worse hell when she was finally freed after 18 years. I thought that for only having a 5th grade education, Ms. Dugard wrote exceptionally well and was able to get a good bit of her emotional process down on paper. However, the book was somewhat difficult to follow: she jumps around without any knowledge of how much time has passed from one section to the next,

this is a story about how we couldn't really differentiate between human and monster easily.
this book made me drowned into Jaycee's life, it made me thousands times asking myself "what will i do, if that horrible things happen in my life?"

This was a horrendous story to read and I did it one evening, It got so awful that I almost put it down. I read through it and its Jaycee's story and I have no idea how she gets through the day at times because she will be a prisoner for the rest of her life.
She has to protect her children from the media frenzy and therefore can not be seen in public with them. After reading this I felt dirty and lonely. Kudos to Jaycee for being able to write this memoir and make sense of it all cause I sure ...more

This book made me sad yet it inspired me too. I would recommend this book as a good read.
I thought this book was amazing. Obviously it is not written by a professional, but after reading what this woman went through it is amazing how she can talk about it and have her life be so public. I could not put the book down until Jaycee was safe again. I recommend to anyone.
After hearing her amazing story on TV, etc. I knew I just had to read the book. I couldn't put this book down. Very emotional.
