This review is from: Dave Pelzer's Life Lessons (Paperback)

Dave Pelzer books are a must read for everyone. He is an amazing man to have gone through what he has and made something positive out of it. No whining and feel sorry for me here. He used all the postitive things he could hold onto and "made something of himself" as the saying goes.
