Book submitted: My Story By Dave Pelzer This is a compilation of his three autobiographies A Child Called It, Lost Boy, and Man Named Dave. It was originally published in Britain though the copy I have was scanned in the U.S. borrowed it from the Kutztown Library. Dave Pelzer, was as a child considered the third worse case of child abuse in California History. When he was rescued as a eleven year old, he had been stabbed, burned, starved, beatened, strangled, and was poisoned on several occasions. This is the story of his survival, his recovery, his life in foster care, and his desire and final triumph to make something of himself, to never quit, give up, and find out why he was the way he was. Great book. anyway should be an easy validation. Shelley L. Rhodes and Judson, guiding golden juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.
