Another fantastic book from an amazing man. This one shares more about what happens to Dave Pelzer after the abuse, during his teenage years.
Helpful Score: 3
This book is about Dave's teenage years (it's like a companion book to The Lost Boy) and about all the people who touched his life and made him what he is today! There are only vague mentions of "The Mother" and there are no graphic disturbing scenes of child abuse.
A lot of the stories and people he shares in this book have been mentioned in his other three novels, but here he goes into more detail. It was a nice break after reading the other three. He is an amazing person!!

This reminds me a little of how the people reacted after WW II, saving, hording and be proud of what you have. He is not really bonded with his Foster parents and still lives/plans his life alone. Always looking into the future and planning for it. His neighborhood buddies let him live in the moment for a little while.

This poor kid had a lot to deal with, more than anybody in their life should ever have to deal with. He is amazing, not just for getting through it but for growing into such a wonderful man. Part of a series. What he went through was horrific but the inspiration of who he is gets you through reading about it. Awesome book. Awesome series.
