Back Cover;
A Child Called "It" is the unforgettable a cow of one if the most severe child abuse cases in California history. It is the story of Dave Pelzer, who was brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother: a mother who played torturous, unpredictable games-- games that left him nearly dead. He had to learn how to play his mother's games in order two survive because she no longer considered him a son, but a slave, and no longer a boy, but an "it".
Dave's bed was an old army cot in the basement, and his clothes were torn and raunchy. When his mother allowed him the luxury of food, it was nothing more than spoiled scraps that even the dogs refused to eat. The outside world knew nothing of his living nightmare. He had nothing and no one to turn to, but hi s dreams kept him alive-- dreams of someone taking care of him, loving him and calling him their son.
Through each struggle you'll find yourself enduring his pain, comforting his loneliness and fighting for his will to survive. This compelling story will awaken you to the truth about child abuse-- and the ability we all have to make a difference.
