Helpful Score: 2

It is hard to rate a book "Love it" when the story is so sad...but I would have to say that I do love It...David Pelzer is a very loveable boy in this book told from his perspective about the terrible abuse he suffered as a child. I read this book and then ordered copies of his other books which I am now reading.

What deep loneliness and suffering this little boy went through and came away with such love for his own child and wisdom about the world. He appears to have his faith intact as well.

It is amazing how people have the ability to survive such trauma and it is a blessing to others to be able to see into the mind of the child who suffers. It makes me love my children even more, if that is possible. It is always possible to hug them more, tell them more how special they are, how much they are loved...this book reminds me to do just that. I wish Dave Pelzer had grown up with more love...
