All those years you tried your best to break me, and I am still here. One day you'll see, I'm going to make something of myself. These words were Dave Pelzer's declaration of indepedence 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. The more than two million readers of Pelzer's previous international bestsellars, A Child Called "It" and The Lost Boy, know that he lived to tell his courageous story. 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.
