Possible Trigger - Jaycee Dugard's book,"A Stolen Life"

[BlondieLashes]

I just finished reading , "A Stolen Life" by Jaycee Dugard and I am so amazed by this woman. I could relate to many parts of her story. I feel for her so much as to why she didn't escape when she had several chances. I was "free" as in not literally held captive for years and still stayed with my abuser. I feel for her so much with the rapes and runs she had to endure. I can't even imagine giving birth in the backyard... she has been through so much and has come out with such an amazing out look on life.

Just wondering if anyone else has read or will be reading her book...

I saw her special on Primetime but have not read the book yet. I think she is such a strong woman with such a positive outlook on life. She is truly inspiring!

I too can understand why she didn't leave. It's hard imagining that there is anything else out there, especially anything good after being in an abusive situation for so many years. Like she said, the fear of the unknown is one of the hardest things.

I did not know he had a book out. I will be adding it on my Good reads shelf to read.Thanks for letting us know. I also think your butterfly quote is inspiring.

Yes, her book is out and it's an amazing read. If you are easily triggered though I would avoid it. I found it so encouraging that if she could come out of her ordeal of 18 years sane and seemingly put together then there is a hope for other survivors of abuse.

Thanks for the compliment on my butterfly quote...
