In the follow-up to her #1 bestselling memoir, A Stolen Life, Jaycee Dugard tells the story of her first experiences after years in captivity: the joys that accompanied her newfound freedom and the challenges of adjusting alive on her own.

When Jaycee Dugard was eleven years of age, she was abducted from a school bus stop within sight of her real estate in South Lake Tahoe, California. She was missing for more than eighteen years, kept captive by Philip and Nancy Garrido, and provided delivery to two about Freedom: My Publication of Firsts daughters during her imprisonment.

IN THE Stolen Life Jaycee told the story of her life from her abduction in 1991 through her reappearance in ’09 2009. Freedom: My Reserve of Firsts is about everything that happened next.

“How do you rebuild a lifestyle?” Jaycee asks. In these web pages, she describes the life she never thought she would live to see: from her 1st sight of her mom to her first-time meeting her grownup sister, her first trip to the dental practitioner to her daughters’ first day of college, her first flavor of champagne to her initial hangover, her first time behind the wheel to her 1st speeding solution, and her initial dance at a friend’s wedding to her initial thoughts about the possibility of another relationship.

This raw and inspiring book will remind you that there is, as Jaycee writes, “life after something tragic happens…Somehow, I still believe that we each hold the key to our own happiness and you have to grab it where you are able to in whatever form it might take.” Freedom is an awe-inspiring memoir about the power we all keep within ourselves.
