A Man Named Dave - Dave Pelzer

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 of Pelzer's New York
Times and international bestselling memoirs A Child Called "It" and The Lost Boyknow that he lived to
tell his courageous story. With stunning generosity of spirit,
Dave Pelzer invites readers on his journey to discover how he turned shame into
pride and rejection into acceptance.
