Dave Pelzer A Child Called It
Dave Pelzer was born in 1960 and was brought up in a middle-class San Francisco suburb. Raised by an abusive mother, Dave never really did experience the joy and comfort of having a real family. ... All his dreams of being able to live the life of a normal child when his father and mother separated. ... But breaking free from his mother’s abusive hands did not mean absolute freedom for Dave. ... His books, A Child Called It, The Lost Boy, A Man Named Dave, and Helping Hands have inspired other children to be strong and believe in themselves in the midst of trials.
