One person's tragedy is another's miracle

Sitting down with this book, I thought it would be just as heartbreaking as "A child called it". However, this book was inspiring and moving. David Pelzer took a tradgedy and turned it into a miracle. None the less, he managed to do this all before the age of eighteen, a challenge most adults could not take on. As David reaches his goals, he teaches all of us an important lesson, reach for the stars and never give up; there is always room for hope, love, and passion.

David's courage story continues

10 stars - As with David's first book A Child called It this book is just as fabulous.It really gives readers an excellent perspective of what's it like to be a foster child. To get attached to people and then have to leave, never really knowing where your going to end up. In this book David thankfully was taken out of his mothers care and ended up a F-Child or Foster Child. In the book we see young David still struggling with what his mother did too him and wondering the biggest question why? We see David over several years go through 5 foster families each who help shape and mold his life for the better. We see him go from a scared little 12 year old to a young man who sees more for himself and has a path planned for his future.

A Testiment to Just How Important Foster Care Is

This book gives the reader a fascinating and personal look inside not just the foster care system, but why they are very much so needed. Young Dave's life was very likely saved by being taken from his mother's home and placed into foster care. But this book makes it clear, that despite this positive change in is life, it certainly didn't mean everything was "happily ever after". Dave then struggled with issues ranging from not knowing some of the mere basics that other twelve years olds know by that age, ranging from as simple as how to take a proper bath to how to behave with proper manners. It also gives you a good look at the struggle these hard working foster homes and parents go through. They deal day in and day out with children coming from troubled homes, and these foster homes are in such high demand that they end up cramped to the brim. I think many of us, myself included, are unaware of just what a struggle it is for both the foster children and the foster parents, as well as how much we need to support these people. They are dedicating themselves to a truly needed and wonderful cause.

Thanks again Dave, for having the courage to share your beautiful story of heartache and triumph with us!
