About this listen
Dave Pelzer was brutally abused as a child by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother. She considered him a slave - no longer a boy, but an "it".
He was physically and mentally tortured and starved. The outside world knew nothing of the nightmare he experienced behind closed doors, and his father was aware of the abuse but turned to denial and alcohol. The abuse only fueled a determination to survive and become stronger.
He eventually found amazing strength from his experiences: both in himself and other people.
Critic Reviews
"Pelzer's portrayal of domestic tyranny and eventual escape is unforgettable." ( School Library Journal)
