Not having read Pelzer's books, the only thing I have read to compare with reading this book is Jennings Michael Burch's "They Cage the Animals at Night".
Is difficult to believe that one that suffered every form of abuse (verbal, mental, physical, & sexual) to such a degree could survive for so long.
All forms of child abuse are horrible, & made worse when the other parent, relatives, or neighbors, turn a blind eye. That her stepfather held such fear & control over not only the family, but anyone that could have helped, over the community, & that the author still has to fear from the rest of the family instead of having their gratitude indicates something very wrong with society.
He did not get near what he deserved. We can only hope that he passes away in prison that she may not have to face his wrath when he is released.
