I absolutely love Dave Pelzer's story, he and I had very similar experience's in life. The only difference is my mother didn't physically abuse me. I wish i could meet him some day and talk to him get to know him a little better. this book has helped me in a lot of struggles and i've cried so many times while reading it, it really gets to heart this book. i would recommend this book to everyone who wants to understand the struggles we deal with when having alcoholic parents.. It will help you understand how it makes us feel and why it's difficult for us later in life.. i don't wanna keep blabbing and give away the book however! lol on a scale of ten this book rates 10/10 because its PERFECTION. I love how he openly discusses his feelings without holding back.

Fact based story of extreme child abuse that highlights triumph over tragedy as well as the resiliency of the human spirit. You will never forget this story if you have the courage to read it. A healing exercise for adult survivors of child abuse and an exuberant celebration of life. I am a life coach for an eleven year old boy and have given him this book with the blessing of his mother to add perspective to his life in understanding those things that really matter and those things that hold lesser importance.

This is an excellent book to purchase and read.I Loved the book because you learn from how to find your inner faith when it seems you cant go any further.It was sad but also a wake up call for America that there are many out there as the boy in the book and we need to reach out more because kids like this one is the next generation.We need to sense signs when we come upon children like this to reach out to help.This book gives encouragment,sense of self-image to our everyday life if one could come out of what the boy in the book came from with forgivness and output on life to make something of hisself we as individuals can gain encourgament to do the same in any given situtation in everyday life.It gives us encourgment,inner faith, and inner strength to do the same in any situtiation we come upon or go thru.Ive learnt from reading this that anything is possible no matter the situtation and we have inner faith and sense of strength when we feel as if we dont it shines forth within ourselves and comes forth. All of Dave Pelzer Books are a good collection to have.Read full review
I cant read a book more than once without being bored with it. But wiht this book, i cant put it down, no matter how many times ive read it (its kinda like that favorite movie you love, or your favorite article of clothing) the first time i read it was back in 5th grade, and now i'm a college freshman and that book still touches me like it was the 1st time. I recommend this book to everyone young and old. It will make you realize the horrible truth that life is not always peachy clean. and you cant even trust the ones closest to you. I really admire David regardless of what his mother did to him, he still loved and somewhat respected here, and even through all the rough times, he still saw that ray of hope, and never gave up
Great value on a disturbing book I've meant t read for several years. Hope we can continue to do biz. Happy holidays!
