What I'm Reading


A couple of weeks ago I watched an interview with Jaycee Dugard, the woman who was kidnapped then found 18 years later. I was familiar with the story, but watching her interview and listening to her describe her horrible experience, I knew I had to read her book, A Stolen Life. I picked it up at Target on Monday, and read a little every night this week. After finishing the book I have come away feeling so grateful for the freedom I have, for the material things I posses, and for my loving family by my side. The strength Jaycee showed is truly inspiring, I definitely recommend this book, although at times it may be hard to read about the torture she endured, its amazing to see how she was able to survive.
I plan to pick a much lighter, happier book for my next read. Any suggestions?
