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, is written by the 30-year-old herself and covers the period from the
time of her abduction in 1991 up until the present. In her stark, utterly honest
and unflinching narrative, Jaycee opens up about what she experienced, including
how she feels now, a year after being found. Garrido and his wife Nancy have
since pleaded guilty to their crimes.
