Product Description
'I don't blame others for my problems. I stand on my own. And one day, you'll see, I'm going to make something of myself.' These words were eighteen-year-old Dave Pelzer's declaration of independence to his mother, a woman who had abused him with shocking brutality. But even years after he was rescued, his life remained a continual struggle. Dave felt rootless and awkward, an outcast haunted by memories of his years as the bruised, cowering 'It' locked in his mother's basement. Dave's dramatic reunion with his dying father and the shocking confrontation with his mother led to his ultimate calling: mentor to others struggling with personal hardships. From a difficult marriage to the birth of his son, from an unfulfilling career to an enduring friendship, Dave was finally able to break the chains of his past, learning to trust, to love, and to live.

A Woman Named Debbie - Please start with 'A Child called IT'. March 17, 2007
I am 54 years old and until I read the last of this book in Mr. Pelzer's trilogy; I could not forgive my father. My mother I was able to forgive a very long time ago but I just could not forgive him. The books were hard for me to read but I stuck with them and I am so glad I did. As God commands us to forgive, I never really understood why, I was able to forgive my father and it was amazing the burden it lifted from me. Both of my parents are dead and have been for a long time. This fact did not keep me from forgiving and my understanding is that as I forgive them, God will also forgive them. Thank you Dave. Superman was also my hero but my escape was and is in books. Though I was abused it was not ever to the extent of yours. I was also fortunate to be 'rescued'.
