The Privilege of Youth
By Dave Pelzer
The #1 New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author who is a
shining example of what overcoming adversity really means now shares the
lost chapter of his uplifting journey, which has touched the lives of
millions.
From A Child Called "It" to The Lost Boy, from A Man Named Dave to Help
Yourself,Dave Pelzer's inspirational books have helped countless others
triumph over hardship and misfortune. In The Privilege of Youth, he supplies
the missing chapter of his life: as a boy on the threshold of adulthood.
With sensitivity and insight, he recounts the relentless taunting he endured
from bullies; but he also describes the thrill of making his first real
friends-some of whom he still shares close relationships with today. He
writes about the simple pleasures of exploring his neighborhood, while
trying to forget the hell waiting for him at home. The Privilege of Youth
bravely and compassionately charts this crucial turning point in Dave
Pelzer's life and will inspire a whole new generation of readers.
"A monumental series of books about courage and triumph. Pelzer
demonstrates, as
few have, that it is in the darkest skies that the stars are best
seen." -Richard Paul Evans, New York Times bestselling author of The
Christmas Box
"A living example that all of us have the capability to better ourselves no
matter what the odds. Dave Pelzer inspires us all." -Jack Canfield, coauthor
of Chicken Soup for the Soul
"Dave Pelzer is a living testament to resilience, personal
responsibility, and the triumph of the spirit."
-John Bradshaw, author of Homecoming and Family Secrets

The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to
stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.
