The second installment in David Pelzer's recounting of his traumatic childhood and adolescence will leave you feeling a tremendous sadness for the plight of the foster child. The book is no great literary work, but a window into the deep scars child abuse leaves behind and the great strength of will that it takes a child to survive these overwhelming odds.
