Book Review of The Lost Boy: A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family

The Lost Boy: A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family
StrawberryOES avatar reviewed on + 86 more book reviews


A heart-breaking story of a young boy who was treated so badly by his Mother that I kept thinking it was fiction (but, it is a true story). I ordered the other two books that go with this series by Dave Pelzer also. It just turned my stomach to think a Mother could do that to her son, especially when there were two other children in the family that she treated well. The Father also did nothing about the Mother's treatment of Dave, and I could not conceive of him just letting all of this torture happen and not turn her in to the police. A MUST read.
