Summary: David, you're an inspiration!
Review: David: Your spirit was remarkable! Most people in your shoes would never be able to see beyond themselves. Yet, you had the guts as a young boy to use your own initiative again and again, such as when you made your choice to choose freedom from your monstrous "mother". Then again, when you had compassion on your brother Russell (overlooking how he'd ratted on you) and telling him "I can help you!"Had I been in your shoes, I wouldn't have forgiven your father for not protecting you, yet you forgave him. I wonder, though, whether many abusive people aren't at least partially possessed by evil spirits or demons? I can see no other explanation for their actions (nor for the actions of the Nazi's, the Pol Pot regime, and abuses such as female circumcision/abuse in Eastern countries. I wish you all the VERY best. You deserve it, for turning into the inspirational role model you are, in the face of such odds!

Summary: The Lost Boy
Review: If anyone likes true stories then this is the book to read.
It was really amazing that this true . The Lost Boy by Dave Pelzer. This book is about a little boy Dave Pelzer who got beaten by his mother and now he is in foster care. He moves from home to home almost every month. When Dave moves to one home, he gets really used to the people and when he has to leave he cries. The best part of the book is when Dave is with the Catanze family because he is 17 years old and he is working and he gets along with everyone in the house. The Catanze family is teaching Dave how to survive in life. He is trying hard to do good when Dave did something wrong he would have to stay inside for a week. If Dave did something really wrong they would tell him he was going to the juvenile hall. When Dave goes to foster homes, it seems to him that when he is there for a couple of months the parents seem to fight. Dave thinks they fight it is because of him. If you really like true stories, then you should read A Child Called It, The Lost Boy, and A Man Named Dave. All three of these books are really good, I suggest everyone read them.

Summary: A foster child raises above his surroundings.......
Review: I read David's first book "A Child called IT" and found this installment of his saga to be much more inspiring. All david wanted was to be loved and he could not find that with his mother. He did find it in the homes of a couple of people who took him in. Even tho he still got into trouble, you could see that all he needed was true love to turn him around. He became a foster child but it did not dim his soul. Now I have to read the next book in the series.

Summary: Inspirational at such a young age.
Review: I read all 3 books and can't believe that this women could call herself a mother, to me more like a monster. This poor little boy was so strong and so young to have to live like an animal. I read the first book in 2 days and the next book was even more hard to put down. By his third book I was a bit relieved that this man had grown to know his potential in life and the help he has given so many people. I still have questions. What happened to his Grandmother? Did she die? What happened to his Foster Parents? The ones that he was closest to. I know the Foster Father dies of Cancer. To be honest with you I think about this everytime I discipline my 2 boys. To me the 5 minute time out chair is torture enough. I can't even comprehend not being feed for 10 days. The one thing I have for Mrs. Marsha Pelzer is respect for a women that knows a good honest man when she sees one. The loving heart and sympathic ear for how much this man went through. Must read all three books. I still ask myself why just this boys?

Summary: The Lost Boy : Helped me to heal
Review: After reading a Child called "It" I read this Book "The Lost Boy" Sadness overwhelmed me as I read what Dave Pelzer went through, as a Child I was abused and molested too.But nothing I went through would compare to what Dave Pelzer went through.It made me see that if Dave Pelzer could get through life and forgive and let the past go so could I.And I have, I am no longer angry.Because I realize that people who abuse and molest Children are sick people that truly need help. If you have ever been abused please read this book and all of Dave Pelzer Books it will help bring a special inspiration to your life once you read what finally happened in Dave Pelzer life as he got older.He is surely one of the wisest men I know.He is truly remarkable and I will always admire his courage and faith to keep going and make his life a better one.All his Books are Books of Powerful Knowledge and the desperation to keep on living. Dave Pelzer is my Hero! Sincerely~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Summary: The Lost Boy : A Foster Childs Search for the Love of a Fami
Review: This book is an excellent follow up to "A Child CAlled It". Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. My heart just ached for this little boy and all the struggles in his life. There is no way I can relate to his story, but it did open my eyes to realities that happen in this world.
