Second Book
Since her first memoir, Jaycee decided to open herself up once more to the public. Though one thing she has chosen to keep private is any details about her daughters. She wants to protect their identities and allow them to make their own choices about sharing their story. Anyway, her second memoir is called Freedom: My Book of Firsts, and it came out in July 2016. This book focuses on her re-integration into society. Jaycee also did another interview with Diane Sawyer before this second book came out.
Reclaiming Her Life
Within her second memoir, she wrote, “There is life after something tragic happens. Life doesn’t have to end if you don’t want it to. It’s all in how you look at it. Somehow, I still believe that we each hold the key to our own happiness and you have to grab it where you can in whatever form it might take.” She told Diane Sawyer just ordering a pizza in New York was a bright moment for her during her new life of freedom. She emphasizes that now it’s about learning how to be free.
