Book Review of The Lost Boy : A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family

The Lost Boy : A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family
reviewed on


A follow-up to A Child Called It, this is the second in a trilogy from Dave Pelzer. He tells his story from the time he left his abusive mother and alcoholic father, through his experiences in five foster homes and juvenile detention, and how he eventually made it into the Air Force. He was a defiant and rebellious boy but despite his background and personality he managed to endear himself to many guardians, social workers, and teachers. A very emotional book but a must read if you've already read the first book.
