Historia
Dave Pelzer narra la inolvidable crónica de uno de los casos de maltrato infantil más grave en la historia de California. Es la historia de Dave Pelzer, quien fue brutalmente golpeado y padeció de hambre por la inestabilidad emocional de una madre alcohólica: una madre que jugaba un tortuoso e impredecible juego con su hijo, el cual tuvo que aprender los juegos de su madre para poder sobrevivir. Una madre quien no lo consideraba un hijo, sino un esclavo- no un niño, sino un objecto.

Historia
On the surface, Dave Pelzer’s life seems like an action movie—he’s walked the red carpet with celebrities and stood shoulder to shoulder with soldiers in Iraq; he’s flown top-secret missions for the U.S. Air Force, obtaining the rank of chief, and battled wildfires in California as a volunteer fire captain. And now—on the eve of the 50-year anniversary of this rescue from horrific childhood of abuse and into the safety of the foster care system—he reflects on the battles he’s fighting in his own heart. From a lifetime spent serving and saving others, can he learn how to serve and save himself?

Historia
I was born and broken in Birkenhead, abused from infancy by a network of every kind of pervert from ‘thinks it’s love’ to ‘show it hurts’. I was unwanted, beaten, sold, swapped, photographed, filmed, left for dead, corrupted, blamed, betrayed, ignored and orphaned. But I was also born with a fire inside me. I call it my Phoenix Fire. I am no victim—that word only describes what happened to me. Nor am I a survivor because that implies I am over it. I am a Phoenix—a work in progress. This is my story....

When Jade Kelly met her new foster mother, she thought her prayers had been answered. Kindly Carol Docherty was everything her violent, drug-addicted mother was not. Loving and nurturing, she fed and clothed 10-year-old Jade and offered a life free of fear from near constant abuse. Or so Jade thought. As soon as social workers in Lancashire stopped their regular checks on Jade’s progress, Carol turned. Over the next six years Jade and three other girls were effectively kept prisoner in a bedroom she called the ‘bad room’ and subjected to unrelenting physical and mental abuse.

Stephen Smith is the boy who did not exist. Born out of wedlock in the early 1960s, Steve's parents - both devout Catholics - had felt so 'shamed' by their son's illegitimate birth that they hid him away from the world by locking him in the cellar...for 13 years. Apart from a few admissions to hospital as a result of his 'imprisonment', Steve remained in the coal cellar of the family home where he was deprived of daylight, his childhood, school and human contact until he'd reached his teenage years.

Our prisons and mental hospitals are filled with tragic stories like Tuesday Storm's. Her early childhood was riddled with torturous "games" and violent physical attacks. She was isolated from the rest of her family, locked in an attic with nothing but a bare bed and a bucket for a toilet, and fed just enough to be kept alive. The experts say it's next to impossible to find the soul's light in a dark past like Tuesday's.

My Prison without Bars is a courageous and harrowing journey through the catacombs of hell, from the mind and voice of a little girl, living with her own monster underneath her bed. Written in first person, this novel is not a memoir, but more a psychological thriller based on true events; chronicling one woman's attempt to claw her way out of the darkness of Child Sexual Abuse, while struggling to find normal, in a not-so-normal world. It is poignant, dark and graphic; not for the faint of heart.

Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.

Resumen del Editor
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Gripping....By looking back at, and then releasing, the image of the skinny, red-haired boy who wanted nothing more than his mother's love, Pelzer discovers his true spirit, which he shares courageously and selflessly here in the hope of healing himself, as well as raising awareness of and preventing child abuse."

Inside the Thornton house, floors and countertops were piled high with dirty laundry and garbage because Bev was unable to move well enough to clean. Dinners were a Russian roulette of half-cooked meat, spoiled milk, and foods well past their expiration dates.

His name was Kevin but his keepers called him Zoo Boy. He didn't talk. He hid under tables and surrounded himself with a cage of chairs. He hadn't been out of the building in the four years since he'd come in. He was afraid of water and wouldn't take a shower. He was afraid to be naked, to change his clothes. He was nearly 16. Desperate to see change in the boy, the staff of Kevin's adolescent treatment center hired Hayden. As Hayden read to him and encouraged him to read, crawling down into his cage of chairs with him, Kevin talked.

At age 15, Liz found herself on the streets when her family finally unraveled. She learned to scrape by, foraging for food and riding subways all night to have a warm place to sleep.

But after spending a summer in Alabama at her grandmother's home, she returns to California with a new sense of what it means for her to be Black: from her mother's memories of picking cotton as a girl in her father's field for pennies a bushel to her parents' involvement in the Civil Rights Movement.

And now—on the eve of the 50-year anniversary of this rescue from horrific childhood of abuse and into the safety of the foster care system—he reflects on the battles he’s fighting in his own heart. From a lifetime spent serving and saving others, can he learn how to serve and save himself?

I am no victim—that word only describes what happened to me. Nor am I a survivor because that implies I am over it. I am a Phoenix—a work in progress. This is my story....

Stephen Smith is the boy who did not exist. Born out of wedlock in the early 1960s, Steve's parents - both devout Catholics - had felt so 'shamed' by their son's illegitimate birth that they hid him away from the world by locking him in the cellar...for 13 years. Apart from a few admissions to hospital as a result of his 'imprisonment', Steve remained in the coal cellar of the family home where he was deprived of daylight, his childhood, school and human contact until he'd reached his teenage years.

As soon as social workers in Lancashire stopped their regular checks on Jade’s progress, Carol turned. Over the next six years Jade and three other girls were effectively kept prisoner in a bedroom she called the ‘bad room’ and subjected to unrelenting physical and mental abuse.

I was left hanging…
My only gripe is the ending. I’ve never been left with so many questions.. Did he ever stand up to her? Was he ever removed from the home? Did they move? Was there ever a consequence of any kind? What happened to the rest of the brothers? Did he ever see David again? What is the author doing now? He spoke about his wife at the beginning but never brought her up again. I did not like the sharp ending at the end with no answers.
Hated the ending for These reasons

This was a great book. Very heartbreaking.
I loved the book and Scott Brick was a great narrator. Very heartbreaking tale, but interesting to hear another perspective from the Pelzer household. Very inspiring to think that Richard and David survived all of that abuse.

Disturbing but well written!
I read David’s book many years ago after watching him on Oprah! I was in disbelief that this could go on unnoticed. Then to know a second child was left in the house for her to continue the nightmare was absurd! Regardless of what the neighbors thought, they knew David had been taken away! So how do you sleep at night if you haven’t done all you can to help all of these children? May this woman burn in Hell for all that she did to God’s precious angels! Thank you Richard for being brave enough to share this story and strong enough to continue on living!

Eye opening!
I read A Boy Called It and Lost Boy. This book provided additional insight into what the Pelzer home was like and kept me asking why all the boys were not removed from their home. I also wondered how none of the boys turned to violent crime. I read that David and Richard do not speak and I find that sad but I do not personally know them. I also grew up in a dysfunctional family with severe abuse and somehow our family always managed to escape the authorities. I am the oldest of five children and not close to any of my siblings. All of us turned to substances to escape. Only a couple of us are in recovery and the affects of our childhood have lingered. I am grateful that society has changed so much today where such abuse is not tolerated. I am also grateful that at least for my children the cycle of abuse ended. Some children are not so lucky. Be an advocate and report the abuse as soon as you suspect it even if it’s a family member or friend! You never know how you might be able to change a child’s life through your intervention. You can be the walls that speak for the child who has not yet found his/her voice.

Tragic!
The truth of these circumstances is unsettling, to say the least. Would’ve liked to have heard more about the closure at the end of the book — what he and David learned about the mother’s history that helped to explain the level of sickness described in the horrific events, what happened to the other brothers — did they ever reunite, etc.

How that mother couldn't love 2 of her 5 boys
I went into it thinking how mean Richard was but as he told his story I felt so bad for him and his brother. I just kept waiting for someone to save him. I was so sad to find out that Richard took his life. Did him and David ever see each other after they grew up?

A Brother's Journey (Unabridged)
A Brother's Journey is another good one. this is also a good wakeup call to what other things go on in our world. My heart goes out Richard and his brother Dave Pelzer. Their Mother was a very sick Alcoholic. She did not deserve to have children. This book makes us aware. child abuse is not a mild case or to be taken lightly. I highly recommend this also.

Motivating
This audiobook is a great sequel to David Pelzer's books, especially if you've been wondering more about what happened when David left. I recommend reading/listening to " A Child called It" before listening to Richard's story for a more vivid background description of this family's history. Richard answers, and yet still challenges, how or why family members and the community minimize abusive situations. After listening to Richard's account, I feel more enlightened toward recognizing those in abusive situtations and encouraged to step boldly towards active assistance.
