A harrowing, yet inspiring true story of a young boy's abusive
childhood, from internationally bestselling author Dave Pelzer.
Brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic
mother - Dave became a slave; he was no longer a boy, but an 'it'.
His bed was an old army cot in the basement, his clothes were torn
and unwashed, and when he was allowed the luxury of food it was
scraps from the dog's bowl. The outside world knew nothing of the
nightmare played out behind closed doors. But throughout Dave kept
alive dreams of finding a family to love him. This book covers the
early years of his life and is an affecting and inspirational book
of the horrors of child abuse and the steadfast determination of
one child to survive. It is the first book in the My Story trilogy.
'His child's voice is immensely powerful and is an extraordinary
testament to the human desire for survival.' Daily Mail 'This
heartfelt true story of one child's courage to survive cannot fail
to move you.' Heat 'It takes a personal testimony like Dave
Pelzer's to bring home the horrors of child abuse - the secrecy,
the shame, the struggle to survive.' Bel Mooney, Mail on Sunday
'Pelzer is able to continue his dreadful story in an admirably
dispassionate style ... It is this cool tone that makes what he has
to say even more compelling.' The Times
