Continuing the true story of Dave Pelzer of 'A Child Called It' in which, after escaping from an abusive parent, faces further hostility and scorn for being an F(foster) child. With the help of a mixed group of people who had faith in him, he finally realises he IS important; he IS someone.

Opening peoples eyes to the reality of child abuse and recognising that it is the duty of each and every one of us to put a stop to it.

Dave's strength and determination and the unyielding spirit of the people who cared for him.

A mother's inhumanity to her child. A father's weakness.

Pass it on to my daughter. I am also going to read 'A Man Called Dave'.

Humble sad but glad that I read it.

After leaving foster care Dave Pelzer had a successful career in the United States Air Force.

It is an inspiration to others who suffer in this way.

I passed this on to my daughter and like me, she read it in a few hours. A true story, that once read, could not be easily forgotten.
