After watching the Jacee Dugard interview last night, I do want to make one more sugestion for a non fiction read.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Stolen Life.
"In the summer of 1991 I was a normal kid. I did normal things. I had friends and a mother who loved me. I was just like you. Until the day my life was stolen.
For eighteen years I was a prisoner. I was an object for someone to use and abuse.

For eighteen years I was not allowed to speak my own name. I became a mother and was forced to be a sister. For eighteen years I survived an impossible situation.

On August 26, 2009, I took my name back. My name is Jaycee Lee Dugard. I don’t think of myself as a victim. I survived.

A Stolen Life is my story—in my own words, in my own way, exactly as I remember it."
-Jacee Lee Dugard

Personally, It's books like this that makes me want to read. It's a true life story, one that will move us all, possibly in different ways, and will for sure teach us all something valuable about what it means to be human. It will inspire us to be better people, and it will make us appreciate the things in our own lives that we tend to take for granted.
I don't know if any of you watched the interview with Diane Sawyer last night, but I did and it really moved me.
I hope it would be a book that the rest of you might find worth our attention.
