I Clean Up the Neighborhood

We had a Saturday clean-up day at the triangle entrance to our Greenridge Neighborhood. My job was the wall leading up the hill. I filled my bag with dried weeds.

Jaycee Dugard's "A Stolen Life"

A Stolen Life: A Memoir by Jaycee Lee Dugard

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I thought this was a powerful book and read it in one gulp. Jaycee writes with a strong, simple and direct voice and I came to understand how she could have remained with her captors - the so-called Stockholm Syndrome. It was amazing how the abuse she suffered never changed some inner purity and sweetness in her character. There is something miraculous about her and her story. After reading it, there remain a million more questions you want to have answered.
