A Child Called 'It'

De: David Pelzer

Narrado por: Brian Keeler

Dave Pelzer was brutally abused as a child by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother. She considered him a slave - no longer a boy, but an "it".

He was physically and mentally tortured and starved. The outside world knew nothing of the nightmare he experienced behind closed doors, and his father was aware of the abuse but turned to denial and alcohol. The abuse only fueled a determination to survive and become stronger.

He eventually found amazing strength from his experiences: both in himself and other people.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Pelzer's portrayal of domestic tyranny and eventual escape is unforgettable." ( School Library Journal)

Good one

I read this book before listening to it. I knew it would be good and it was. I recomend this.

Amazing

This was probably the best book I've listened too / read in my life. I got very emotional while listening to this book and even got sick to my stomach during some parts. I feel that everyone, whether they've been abused or not, should listen to this book. It is very relatable and may open your eyes to why some people act the way they do.

Mind blowing and inspirational!

This is such a heartbreaking story. Especially inspiring that Dave is a living testimony! My heart is full to know that he is living a happy life with his family and is able to speak to others about his experience! Thank you!

This is an excellent book and needs to be read more!

Extraordinary and profound read This is a statement of what he human soul can withstand. Those of us who grew up hiding the bruises and plastering smiles to cover the broken edges of the children we used to be.
Thank you,
