A Child Called 'It': One Child's Courage to Survive
reviewed on + 31 more book reviews


This is a VERY QUICK read. I only have time to read a little bit each night before I go to bed and I read this in two nights.

Unbelieveable what happens to Dave Pelzer. It is hard to understand why people abuse their children. What he endured goes beyond anything that I could have imagined.

I think that child abuse happens way more often than we think or know. I'm left wondering how in the world can you stop it? How can you really protect children? How can you change it so that abusers stop? How can the cycle be ended? Can we do more than each of us be aware and get our of our comfort box when we can?
