Description

From the Dust Jacket
All those years you tried your best to break me, and I’m still here. I make mistakes, I screw up, but I learn. I don’t blame others for my problems. I stand on my own. And one day you’ll see, I’m going to make something of myself. These words were eighteen-year-old Dave Pelzer’s declaration of independence 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, denying him food and clothing, torturing him in any way she could imagine. This was the woman who told her son she could kill him any time she wanted to—and nearly did. The more than one million readers of Pelzer’s previous best-selling memoirs, A Child Called “It” and The Lost Boy, know that he lived to tell his courageous story. But even years after he was rescued, his life remained a continual struggle. Dave felt rootless and awkward, an outcast 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. Dave’s dramatic reunion with his dying father and the shocking confrontation with his mother—along with the discovery of her secret past—led to his ultimate calling: mentor to others struggling with personal hardships. From a difficult marriage to the birth of his son, from an unfulfilling career to an enduring friendship, Dave was finally able to break the chains of his past, learning to trust, to love, and to live. A Man Named Dave is the gripping conclusion to his inspirational trilogy. With stunning generosity of spirit, Dave Pelzer invites his readers on his journey to discover how he turned shame into pride and rejection into acceptance – how a lost, nameless boy finally found himself in the heart and soul of a man who is free at last.
