| |  | | | In Brief
On March 5, 1973, 12-year-old Dave Pelzer was freed from the prison he had known his entire life. His clothing in tatters, his bed an old army cot, Pelzer was only fed the food that the family dogs had refused. But he was determined to survive. And he vowed to make a difference in the lives of others.
Now, in the inspiring conclusion to the New York Times bestsellers A Child Called "IT" and The Lost Boy, Dave Pelzer shares the story of how a young man, haunted by his past, turned his life around and became a man filled with love and acceptance. In A Man Named Dave: A Story of Triumph and Forgiveness, Pelzer describes how he overcame years of torture and confronted his pathologically abusive, alcoholic mother and his neglectful, alcoholic father. With candor and courage, he also tells of his failed first marriage, his successes and struggles as a father to his son, Stephen, and his path to wholeness with his true love and wife, Marsha.
Equal parts triumph and tragedy, A Man Named Dave is both a painful reminder of the atrocities that take place in the world and a joyous celebration of life lived to the fullest. With unparalleled generosity and bravery, Pelzer concludes his trilogy and masterfully proves that there is no way to shackle the human spirit. "My story is not about me being a victim of child abuse," writes Pelzer, "but of the indomitable human spirit within us all."
Join us and bear witness to the power of the human spirit when we chat live with Dave Pelzer.
| | | | From The Publisher
"All those years you tried your best to break me, and I'm still here. One day you'll see, I'm going to make something of myself." These words were Dave Pelzer's declaration of independence to his mother, and they represented the ultimate act of self-reliance. Dave's father never intervened as his mother abused him with shocking brutality. But even after he was rescued, his life remained haunted by memories of his years as the bruised, cowering "It" locked in his mother's basement. Desperately trying to make something of his life, Dave was determined to weather every setback and gain strength from adversity.
With stunning generosity of spirit, Dave Pelzer invites readers on his journey to discover how a lost, nameless boy finally found himself in the heart and soul of a man who is free at last.
