A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard

3.75

challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring sad tense medium-paced

this book is absolutely heartbreaking. hearing everything she went through for EIGHTEEN YEARS is insane. it’s so beyond messed up. what a beautiful story though in the end of unlearning and healing.
