Pelzer, Dave, A Man Named
Dave: A story of triumph and forgiveness.
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. But even years after he was rescued, his life remained
a continual struggle. He 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, he was determined to weather every setback
and gain strength from adversity. His 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, he was finally able to break the
chains of his past, learning to trust, to love, and to live. This
is the gripping conclusion to his inspirational trilogy. With
stunning generosity of spirit, he 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. Dutton
