A Child Called It

Más información sobre el libro

A harrowing and inspiring true story of a young boy's abusive childhood, from international bestseller Dave Pelzer. 'A story where love, kindness, patience and endurance triumph' Daily Mail ***** Brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable and alcoholic mother, Dave became a slave; he was no longer a boy, but an 'it'. His bed was an old army cot in the basement, his clothes torn and unwashed, and when he was allowed the luxury of food it was scraps from the dog's bowl. The outside world knew nothing of the nightmare played out behind closed doors. But throughout it all, Dave kept alive dreams of finding a family to love him. A Child Called 'It' shares the emotional story of the early years of his life, detailing the horrors of child abuse and the steadfast determination of one child to survive. It is the first book in the My Story trilogy. 'Heartfelt... cannot fail to move you' Heat
