description
In this moving memoir, Dave Pelzer recalls his childhood, when he was abused by an alcoholic mother. He recounts the strategies he used to survive the "games" she devised that reduced him from a human being to an "it." Dave somehow survives, frees himself of his mother's tyranny, and eventually finds success in the Air Force.

    "It's hard to believe that people actually treat children like this. It was a very good book. I have read the sequel also and it is another good book. You won't want to put it down."
