This is a great follow up!
I also enjoyed this book as much as A Child Called "IT". This also made me cry as much as as the first one. I could not put it down as well.

The Lost Boy: A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family1 review
Dave Pelzer
HCI, 1997
"Good on You, David!"
This is an inspiring book and 2nd of a trilogy by a person who was violently abused as a child and moved in and out of foster homes. David was a handful for the many people who helped him survive and develop into the inspirational man he is today.
An eye opener and book of real educational merit that puts the reader in the setting of the eyes of a child determined to survive and who ...

A definite must read
This is not for the weak of stomach though. It is pretty graphic as it shows the types of abuse went through when he was younger, as well as how it affected him the rest of his life! There were times I needed to put the book down for a day or two to digest and fully absorb what was written, before I went to the next section. This book takes you through all the emotions. I am so glad he had the ...

Dave Pelzer's Life Lessons: From a Man Who Knows1 review
Dave Pelzer
Thorsons, 2002
Read every Dave Pelzer book
Dave Pelzer books are a must read for everyone. He is an amazing man to have gone through what he has and made something positive out of it. No whining and feel sorry for me here. He used all the postitive things he could hold onto and "made something of himself" as the saying goes.

Everyone Needs to Read This!
Everyone needs to read this book. Many people don't understand child abuse or how it happens, or even who it happens to. This book shows a child searching for answers to all of these questions in the heart breaking detail of his every day abusive home life. Some people think child abuse is hitting a child too much or not giving the child enough to eat at meals. The Lost Boy shows how much ...

A Child Called "It" [UNABRIDGED] (Audiobook)1 review
Dave Pelzer
Recorded Books, 2006
The Child Called It . This is written by: Shunea 17 years old
This book "The Child Called It" by Dave Pelzer is an excruciating book. Even though David went through so much he still had a lot of love in his heart. Also because for how he was tortured its amazing that he is still alive. The book is about when David was a little kid and tortures him. His mother also plays weird and sick games with him to the point that David has to try to find a way to ...

A Woman Named Debbie - Please start with 'A Child called IT'.
I am 54 years old and until I read the last of this book in Mr. Pelzer's trilogy; I could not forgive my father. My mother I was able to forgive a very long time ago but I just could not forgive him. The books were hard for me to read but I stuck with them and I am so glad I did. As God commands us to forgive, I never really understood why, I was able to forgive my father and it was amazing the ...

Help Yourself for Teens2 reviews

JOSEPH MICHAEL (PENG, 2006
Overcome the hard stuff and rise!
This is one of the best self help books I've read for any age (and I've read a lot). Author Dave Pelzer writes in a way that is so encouraging and real. He shares parts of his own story of abuse (which he writes about fully in his book titled "A Child Called "It": One Child's Courage to Survive"), how he overcame challenges to rise, and he gives great guidance--the common sense that's not ...

Read every Dave Pelzer book he writes. He is an exceptional human being. There should be more people like him without having to go through the abuse he endured.

A Child Called "It": One Child's Courage to Survive1929 reviews

ABUSED CHILDREN
I can tell you that from personal experience with my own son due to his father: That both Fireman's and Law Enforcement Families are some of the worst out there. The legal system allows them to get away with this kind of behavior by siding with them. Protective services fails these children most of the time by leaving them with the abusive parent or family. God help the children.

It's A Complete Trilology...
It was very exciting to find out how his adulthood went for him. I give Dave a lot of credit for forgiving his mother after all she put him through. God bless this man for sharing his life story. Hopefully, this will help other abuse victims out.

A man who helped himself teaches others to
Dave Pelzer is a household name by now . His stories of the childhood abuse he suffered, and his struggle to overcome this have been the inspiration for thousands of readers. Now he in a sense refines what he has learned into a self- help book. The main chapters of the book are built around themes like 'Get rid of the Garbage of your life ' ' Free yourself' 'Suviving a Negative Enviornment' 'Know ...
