O knihe

From childhood, Dave was brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother, a mother who played tortuous, unpredictable games with her son*s life; games his father chose to ignore and which the outside world knew nothing about.
Millions around the world read the bestselling first two volumes of Dave Pelzer*s memoirs A Child Called 7t` and The Lost Boy and know that Dave survived the most severe example of sustained child abuse in the history of California. A Man Named Dave is the gripping conclusion to his inspirational trilogy. With extraordinary generosity of spirit, Dave takes us on his journey confronting his past. In a dramatic reunion he confronts his father and ultimately his mother who so brutally abused him. Finally Dave finds the courage to break the chains of the past and learn to love, trust and live for the future.
I am not a victim, he says. My message is about being resilient and responsible. I want to inspire people to overcome their past trauma. If they can survive the abuse itself, then why can*t they use that same strength to overcome the memory of that abuse?
