De: Dave Pelzer

Narrado por: William DeMeritt

A Man Named Dave, which has sold over 1 million copies, is the gripping conclusion to Dave Pelzer’s inspirational and New York Times bestselling trilogy of memoirs that began with A Child Called It and The Lost Boy.

All those years you tried your best to break me, and I'm still here. One day you'll see, I'm going to make something of myself. These words were 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 two million readers and listeners of Pelzer's New York Times and international bestselling memoirs A Child Called It and The Lost Boy know that he lived to tell his courageous story. With stunning generosity of spirit, Dave Pelzer invites listeners on his journey to discover how he turned shame into pride and rejection into acceptance.

This audiobook is expertly read by William DeMeritt, with audio engineering by Matthew Kulewicz, MPSE. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Honest

One of my favorite reads. A reminder. An honest telling of the horrid secrets that are kept in so many households.

Conquer

The is a wonderful end to the trilogy. It was good to see realistically: how Dave’s past caused him to have blind spots as an adult, but also the positive qualities it gave him. After making crucial mistakes as an adult, he learned from them because of his determination not to repeat the cycle of abuse in his family.

I know every day of life is a fight, but congratulations so far Dave nevertheless 🎉
