reviewed on + 23 more book reviews


an account of one of the most severe child abuse cases in california. He was beatenand starved by his mentally ill, alcoholic mother who played tortuous games with him. he had to learn how to play those games in order to survive. Not for the weak hearted. Very sad and painful read IMHO.
