SELF IMPROVEMENT

Jaycee Dugard Book
During a wide-ranging interview with ABC News' Diana Sawyer, set to air Sunday night, Dugard opened up about her experiences at the hands of her captors, Phillip and Nancy Garrido.
Dugard is now 31 and working to build a new life, one in which she and her children are finally free.
Dugard recounted the first moment Phillip Garrido entered her life.
She was on her way to school, wearing her favorite shirt and a ring her mother had given her, ABC reported, when all of a sudden Dugard felt "tingly" and "numb."
Phillip had shocked her with a stun gun, the network said. The Garridos then put her in their car. She recalled Phillip laughing at one point, and telling his wife: "I can't believe we got away with it."
"It was like the most horrible moment of your life times ten," Dugard told ABC.
"I didn't know I was in labor," Dugard said. Last month, a judge sentenced Phillip Garrido to 431 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to one count of kidnapping and 12 counts of sexual assault. A statement from Dugard, read by her mother at the sentencing hearing, called the Garridos "evil" and described her kidnapping by them as a "sexual perversion."
During the ABC interview, she stressed she is moving on with her life. Dugard said she wants to study writing, ABC reported.

Jaycee Dugard, the California woman who spent 18 years in captivity at the hands of Phillip and Nancy Garrido, is now revealing her horrific ordeal in her own words.
Four weeks ago, with the sentencing of the Garridos, Dugard closed a dark chapter in her life.
"My silent tears become giant sobs. The man takes me in his arms and offers comfort. I do not want comfort from this awful man," Dugard writes.
Experts say writing about her past will help Dugard heal.
It's all out on the table," Astrid Heppenstall Heger, professor of pediatrics at USC's School of Medicine, said.
She spares no details.
"Easter Sunday [in] 1994. At first, Garrido handcuffed Dugard to keep her from escaping. "Phillip gave me this image of the world as a scary place made up of pedophiles and rapists. The Garridos were questioned by police, and Dugard - afraid to even utter her real name - wrote it down for a police officer.
