As a child, Dave Pelzer was brutally beaten and starved by his mother. The world knew nothing of his living nightmare and he had nothing and no one to turn to. But his dreams kept him alive - dreams of someone taking care of him, loving him and calling him their son. Finally, his horrific plight could no longer be hidden from the outside world and Dave's life radically changed. THE LOST BOY is the harrowing - but ultimately uplifting - true story of a boy's journey through the foster-care system in search of a family to love. The continuation of Dave Pelzer's story is a moving sequel and inspirational read for all.

This review is from: Lost Boy (Paperback)
I first heard about David Pelzer's story years ago but wasn't until recently that I decided to buy his books. "A Child called It" tells all the horrible things he had to go through as a boy, but the ending left you hanging. "The Lost Boy" works as part of the trilogy as well as on its own. It's easy to read and keeps you wanting more. This man's story is truly amazing and inspiring. Can't wait to read "A Man named Dave".

One boy's struggle for survival,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lost Boy (Paperback)
The author's success for surviving was believing on a dream of finding a family to love and take care of him. He held on to that dream which kept him alive all of those years he was kept captive in his abusive home. When he was finally removed from the home he knew everything was going to be all right because he had already lived the hardest part of his life, trying to survive. David Pelzer, as a child, suffered all types of abuse physically, verbally, emotionally, and perhaps sexually. His joy was hindered as a result of the emotional pain and suffering from feelings of rejection not only from his mother but from his siblings and most importantly is father. He felt hopeless and unloved by his family. The author's courage to become a public speaker with his life story helped him and others to be freed from childhood torments. He encouraged other to let go of the past but never to run from it. As a result domestic violence in his life ended with him.
