This book chronicles the unforgettable account of one of the
most severe child abuse cases in California history. It is the
story of Dave Pelzer, who was brutally beaten and starved by his
emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother: a mother who played
tortuous, unpredictable games--games that left him nearly dead. He
had to learn how to play his mother's games in order to survive
because she no longer considered him a son, but a slave; and no
longer a boy, but an "it."
Dave's bed was an old army cot in the basement, and his clothes
were torn and raunchy. When his mother allowed him the luxury of
food, it was nothing more than spoiled scraps that even the dogs
refused to eat. The outside world knew nothing of his living
nightmare. He had nothing or no one to turn to, but his dreams kept
him alive--dreams of someone taking care of him, loving him and
calling him their son.
