It doesn't ring a bell (the Austrian one does, though), but what an awful story! :( And to think we're having to share the same planet as those people. *shudders*<br /><br />I remember hearing about a young woman who had been stolen as a baby who never quite felt at home with her "family" - and then came across her mum online. That made the news over here. Stealing babies? WTH is wrong with people?!Traxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13249884092846934427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521348297206014365.post-82141285066673919532011-09-22T21:02:42.066-05:002011-09-22T21:02:42.066-05:00I remember thinking that Room must have been based...I remember thinking that Room must have been based on her story except that the timeline of when the book came out seemed fast. (Turns out it was mire based on something that happened in Europe). Jaycee's story makes me so sad and mad!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128837662718618636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521348297206014365.post-14495009424704744962011-09-22T09:06:15.170-05:002011-09-22T09:06:15.170-05:00Traxy - I'm sorry, I need to realize that I ha...Traxy - I'm sorry, I need to realize that I have readers that are not in the United States! It was such a headline story here that I thought it might actually be a worldwide story (similar to the story of the Austrian Dad who kept his daughter captive).<br /><br />Jaycee Dugard was kidnapped when she was 11 years old in California. She was held captive for EIGHTEEN years by Philip and his wife Nancy. While in captivity, she gave birth to Philip's two children starting when she was thirteen. Jaycee and her daughters were finally rescued when Philip took them to meet his parole officer (he had gone to jail previously for raping a woman) for some reason. <br /><br />Jaycee has written this book, which is a bestseller in America, and has appeared on TV to discuss this horrible crime.Laura's Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904763940307902364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521348297206014365.post-82363153940308115632011-09-22T03:50:06.290-05:002011-09-22T03:50:06.290-05:00"I think we have all heard the headline news ..."I think we have all heard the headline news of Jaycee Dugard’s tragic abduction and subsequent time as a prisoner of Philip and Nancy Garrido." - Umm, nope? Which means the whole review through I kept wondering "right, so what's the background story here? What actually happened?". ;) Sounds like something awful happened, nonetheless, but I guess - and hope!! - it's sorted out now?Traxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13249884092846934427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521348297206014365.post-74743795282611821812011-09-21T12:14:21.571-05:002011-09-21T12:14:21.571-05:00I would also like to read this book, although it w...I would also like to read this book, although it would be a difficult read.
