This book has left a heavy knot in the pit of my stomach. I cannot fathom the things that this "mother" did to this child. The subtitle of this book says "An Inspirational Story" - I guess that's true because Dave really did survive by his own mentality. But it didn't leave me feeling very inspired, just very sad for him, angry at his mother and murderous towards his Father. HOW could this man just leave when he knew what was going on? How? It sounds as though the author is a well adjusted adult now, I cannot imagine going through what he did. I.Just.Can't.
