The inspiring conclusion to the New York Times bestselling series that includes A Child Called "It" and The Lost Boy Dave Pelzer"s incredible and inspiring life story has already captured the interest of more than one million readers. A Man Named Dave is the long-awaited conclusion to his trilogy in which he describes how he triumphed over years of physical and emotional abuse from his parents to become a self-accepting and confident adult. Readers of Pelzer"s previous two bestsellers await this book--the first of Pelzer"s books to be available in hardcover--to learn how he finally confronts his pathologically abusive mother and his neglectful, alcoholic father in an effort to turn a childhood marked by rejection and emotional abuse into an adulthood filled with love and acceptance. * Dave Pelzer"s first two books have been on the New York Times bestseller list for more than one hundred weeks combined * The first two books in this trilogy have been translated into ten languages "A Child Called "It" was so riveting, neither I nor my staff could put it down! Dave Pelzer"s story does not focus on his life-threatening plight as much as his unyielding determination that inspires us all. Dave is a living example that all of us have the capability to better ourselves no matter what the odds. One"s life is forever changed after living through the eyes of A Child Called "It"."--Jack Canfield, coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Soul "The Lost Boy stands shining as the premier book on the unique love and dedication that social services and foster families provide for our children in peril. Dave Pelzer is certainly a living testament of resilience, personal responsibility, and the triumph of the human spirit."--John Bradshaw, bestselling author of Homecoming
