10-15-2009 California:
She was gone for 18 years and no one truly knows or understands what she went through at the hands of a convicted sex offender.
But kidnap survivor Jaycee Dugard has an amazing attitude along with her stunning life story.
"I'm so happy to be back with my family," she told People.
She and her two daughters, Angel, 15 and Starlit, 11, are living with Jaycee's mom Terry Probyn, 50, reports People.
Her captor, Phillip Garrido, is in jail having pled not guilty to charges of kidnapping and other heinous crimes.
Jaycee is not living under the shadow of what happened to her. She is in the kitchen cooking and riding horses.
A spokeswoman for the Dugard family, Erika Schulte, told NBC's "Today" show that the release of the photos was Jaycee's way of saying thank you to the public that has showed so much support.
