A Stolen Life is my story--in my own words, in my own way, exactly as I remember it..
I don\'t think of myself as a victim, I simply survived an intolerable situation.
My name is Jaycee Lee Dugard.
On August 26, 2009, I took my name back.
For eighteen years I survived an impossible situation.
I became a mother and was forced to be a sister.
For eighteen years I was not allowed to speak my own name.
I was an object for someone to use and abuse.
For eighteen years I was a prisoner.
Until the day my life was stolen.
I was just like you.
I had friends and a mother that loved me.
I did normal things.
In the summer of June of 1991, I was a normal kid.
