A Child Called 'It': One Child's Courage to Survive

Helpful Score: 2


This book is the unforgettable account of one of the most severe child abuse cases in California history, told first-hand by the man who somehow survived on his dreams-- dreams of someone taking care of him, loving him, and calling him their son. True to the back cover of the book, through each heart-breaking struggle I found myself enduring his pain, comforting his loneliness, and fighting for his will to survive. This compelling story will awaken you to the truth about child abuse-- and the ability we all have to make a difference.
