About this product

Product Information

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 Boy know 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.

ALL TIME GREAT...
I loved A Man Named Dave, I chose to buy this book because I have all of his books... Everybody that plans on having children at some point in time in their life needs to sit down and read his books... These books will tell you what kind of person you really are... If you can't stomach the way his mother treated him then you can be a parent and a good one at that... If his books don't phase you any at all think twice about having kids... Everyone out there needs to take a stand and not let another child suffer the way Dave did...

Man Named Dave
Through Dave Pelzer's first we all "felt his pain." They were, if not thoroughly believable, at least interesting. In A Man Named Dave, the reader is gratified to find that the author has succeeded in life, despite his early trials. Unfortunately, while demonstating that religion was a big part of this success, Dave finds it necessary to preach the Word throughout the book. I was disappointed to find more preaching than story.
