A Stolen Life

A Stolen Life was written by Jaycee Dugard. This is a non-fiction book. I chose to read this book because the school librarian recommended it to me.

This is a true story of a 10 year old girl who was captured on her way to school with the assist of a stun gun by Phillip and Nancy Gillardo. She was held captive in a back yard compound for 18 years, raped, and abused. Jaycee gave birth to two daughters while held captive. She was not allowed to acknowledgeher daughters as daughters. They were simply her sisters. This is a very heartbreaking true story....

I liked this book because it was true and exposed everything that Jaycee went through. I disliked this story because it was true it made you want to cry and then scream. What Jaycee went through was something most of us can never imagine, so I recommened this to very mature 13 year olds. If you like true storys you will like this book.
