A Child Called 'It': One Child's Courage to Survive

A very sad, but compelling, book about Dave Pelzer's struggle as a severely abused child in the 1970s. I read it in two nights and wanted to scream at so many of the peripheral characters for not stepping in and doing something sooner (especially his dad who didn't do anything about what Dave's mother was doing to him).
