Dave Pelzer is NOW one of my fave authors!  I could NOT put this book down and as a matter of fact, cried through a lot of it.  I have read the entire series AND his brother's book, as well.  I have read this series several times, actually.

After reading this book, I did research on Dave and in that time-frame (70's) he WAS one of the top cases of the worst child abuse in history!

It sure opens your eyes to the terrible living conditions he had to live with.  I was appalled with the types of abuse his mother used on him.  Ever more sickened that his father did NOTHING to stop it, knowing it was happening.

 I feel it took a GREAT person to overcome, move on and use his life situation to learn from and in turn, teach others.

I could continue writing - I have SO much more to say about this book.  I don't have that much time to do so . . .
