The inspirational true story of one man overcoming enormous odds including sexual abuse from his alcoholic mother to choose his own path in life and become a truly exceptional human being. From the age of four David was sexually abused by his alcoholic mother. He didn't understand, but he didn't have a choice. Then one day it got much worse: his stepfather turned on him, too. The beatings always started when his mother left the house. But if the violence was terrible the betrayal was even more shattering: David's mother knew but did nothing to stop it. As the nightmare of his life grew worse, David turned to petty crime. For the first time he felt powerful and in control. But deep down he knew it would destroy him. Then, one night, he saw a programme on TV that changed everything. It sparked the life-long passion that would free him from his past and make his future worth living for. A heartbreaking story of abuse, betrayal and ultimate redemption.

Great insights,

This review is from: Tell Me Why, Mummy (Hardcover)
I really enjoyed reading this book, David Thomas showed a lot of insight into his own life and his own behaviours in my opinion.
I especially liked the way he wrote gratefully about the nice things his mother had done for him for eg having his lisp fixed. David Thomas had a difficult start to life but in my opinion has really grown to be intelligent and to have great insights. I hope he makes lots of money from the book!
