Book excerpt: A raw and powerful memoir of Jaycee Lee Dugard's own story of being kidnapped as an 11-year-old and held captive for over 18 years On 10 June 1991, eleven-year-old Jaycee Dugard was abducted from a school bus stop within sight of her home in Tahoe, California. It was the last her family and friends saw of her for over eighteen years. On 26 August 2009, Dugard, her daughters, and Phillip Craig Garrido appeared in the office of her kidnapper's parole officer in California. Their unusual behaviour sparked an investigation that led to the positive identification of Jaycee Lee Dugard, living in a tent behind Garrido's home. During her time in captivity, at the age of fourteen and seventeen, she gave birth to two daughters, both fathered by Garrido. Dugard's memoir is written by the 30-year-old herself and covers the period from the time of her abduction in 1991 up until the present. In her stark, utterly honest and unflinching narrative, Jaycee opens up about what she experienced, including how she feels now, a year after being found. Garrido and his wife Nancy have since pleaded guilty to their crimes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than one in three women in the United States has experienced rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime. Luckily, many are able to escape this life—but what happens to them after? Journeys focuses on the desperately understudied topic of the resiliency of long-term (over 5 years) survivors of intimate partner violence and abuse. Drawing on participant observation research and interviews with women years after the end of their abusive relationships, author Susan L. Miller shares these women’s trials and tribulations, and expounds on the factors that facilitated these women’s success in gaining inner strength, personal efficacy, and transformation. Written for researchers, practitioners, students, and policy makers in criminal justice, sociology, and social services, Journeys shares stories that hope to inspire other victims and survivors while illuminating the different paths to resiliency and growth.

Download or read book From Rat Tail Ridge to Capital Hill and Back written by Robert Edward Fulton and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-10-05 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “From Rat-Tail Ridge To Capitol Hill And Back” is an autobiography written by Robert Edward (Bob) Fulton before his passing in 2018. It’s the story of a man born during the Great Depression into a poor and hard-working family of Middle American farmers, who became a public school teacher at the age of 16, served in the Army, and was the first in his family to graduate from college. He went on to obtain advanced degrees in law and public administration, to serve in the highest levels of government, and to become one of the country’s leading experts on government programs for alleviating poverty. Bob’s own journey was a reflection of the hope that he tried to bring to others — that when opportunity is made available to people of personal integrity and industry, good things can grow, just as life can spring up from the unforgiving soil of a farm on Rat-Tail Ridge. Bob’s own journey was deeply shaped by the experiences of those who went before him; “From Rat-Tail Ridge To Capitol Hill And Back” thus also tells the story of his ancestry. As with many Americans, the family story began with migration from another continent in search of a better life — in his family’s case, from Europe in the 1700s. It’s the classic pioneers’ tale, moving from parts east to the land west of the Mississippi in a persevering struggle to cobble together a workable life in a new land. “From Rat-Tail Ridge To Capitol Hill And Back” at once rings both familiar and remarkable, providing common refrains of the American experience while also reminding that principle, basic decency, and commitment to community are the magic stuff of life.
