A Stolen Life

5:

This was the hardest and longest I've cried over a book this year, and I am so, so sorry that Jaycee and, unfortunately, so many kids around the world have had to go through such sickening ordeals.

And it was so hard to get through. Jaycee has a very sweet voice, and she is quite descriptive of the cruelty she had to endure. I had to physically step away at times because I couldn't handle it, I just can't understand how there can be people like that just walking around, and HOW society all around the world keeps failing these children, and people in need. I am beyond disgusted.

She had so much taken from her, and it's impossible to stomach the unfairness. But despite it all, Jaycee is such an incredible woman, and a loving, devoted mother. Many of my tears were out of anger, but most were because, when she finally takes that deep breath of relief, I felt it too and it shook my whole body.

I am so glad that she and her daughters are out of reach from those revolting individuals, so glad that justice was served in regards to them, and so happy that she is back with her mom and the rest of her family, that she is moving on, and that she can, hopefully, one day, leave this all behind.

(Also I'm not here to pass judgement but I saw people leaving 1 and 2 star reviews because they expected her to write an in-depth psyschoanalysis of her state of mind through this whole thing and I just have to say: eat a dick.)
