SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Jaycee Dugard, the California woman who was kidnapped as a girl by a convicted sex predator and held captive
for nearly two decades, is talking about her years in captivity.

Dugard was kidnapped from South Lake Tahoe in 1991, then
sexually abused for 18 years by Phillip and Nancy Garrido. During
her years living in the Garridos' backyard in the eastern San
Francisco Bay area city of Antioch, she gave birth to two daughters
by Phillip Garrido.

In a new book and in an exclusive interview with ABC News' Diane
Sawyer, Dugard describes how she gave birth to her first child at
age 14.

Now 31-years-old, Dugard says the birth was "painful." But she
also says she "felt like I wasn't alone anymore."

The full ABC interview will air on "Primetime" Sunday night at 9 on KOLO 8 News Now. Her book, "A Stolen Life," officially goes on sale next Tuesday.
