A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

On 10 June 1991, eleven-year-old Jaycee Dugard was abducted from a school bus stop within sight of her home in Tahoe, California. It was the last her family and friends saw of her for over eighteen years. On 26 August 2009, Dugard, her daughters, and Phillip Craig Garrido appeared in the office of her kidnapper's parole officer in California. Their unusual behaviour sparked an investigation that led to the positive identification of Jaycee Lee Dugard, living in a tent behind Garrido's home. During her time in captivity, at the age of fourteen and seventeen, she gave birth to two daughters, both fathered by Garrido.

Dugard's memoir covers the period from the time of her abduction in 1991 up until the present. In her stark, compelling narrative, Jaycee opens up about what she experienced, including how she feels now and the struggle to re-build her life after eighteen years in captivity. Garrido and his wife Nancy have since pleaded guilty to their crimes.

Quatrième de couverture :

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 26th, 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 words, in my own way, exactly as I remember it.
