Description
A harrowing and inspiring true story of a young boy's abusive childhood, where love, kindness, patience and endurance ultimately triumph.
Brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable and alcoholic mother, Dave Pelzer was forced into a life of slavery, his bed an old army cot in the basement, his clothes torn and unwashed. When food was allowed, it was scraps from the dog's bowl. The outside world remained unaware of the horrors played out behind closed doors.
Despite the unimaginable hardships, Dave kept alive dreams of finding a family to love him. His story, as told in 'A Child Called 'It'', is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for survival and the unbreakable will to thrive in the face of unimaginable adversity.
