His story, Who is Dave Pelzer?

Now i know one should never judge the book by its cover but that is what caught my attention when i first looked at this book.

It was titled “A man named Dave” and i had to know
who Dave was. When i actually did get to reading it, i realised that it was a real life story about the author himself.

A search online  found me two other
books before the one i was reading.
So I put the one i was reading on  hold,
got the first book and then it all began…

“SMACK! Mother hits me in the face, and i topple to the floor. I know better than to stand there and take the hit.I learned the hard way that she takes that as an act of defiance,which means more hits,or worst of all,no food. I regain my posture and dodge her looks, as she screams into my ears. I act timid, nodding to her threats. Please, i say to myself,just let me eat. Hit me again, but i have to have food.”

That is an excerpt from Dave Pelzer’s first book, the “child called it”. Now how can you not start feeling for the author and all that he has been through as a child and even in his early adult years. This trio book series by Dave Pelzer, is a chilling story on how he managed to survive the abuse both verbally and phyically of his very own mother as a child. Now i don’t want to say too much and spoil this good read for you but i would say you sure can learn a thing or two from him. For me, I learned how to appreciate even the tiniest of blessing.
