HTML:A Man Named Dave, which has sold over 1 million copies, is the gripping conclusion to Dave Pelzer??s inspirational and New York Times bestselling trilogy of memoirs that began with A Child Called "It" and The Lost Boy.
"All those years you tried your best to break me, and I'm still here. One day you'll see, I'm going to make something of myself." These words were Dave Pelzer's declaration of independence to his mother, and they represented the ultimate act of self-reliance. Dave's father never intervened as his mother abused him with shocking brutality, denying him food and clothing, torturing him in any way she could imagine. This was the woman who told her son she could kill him any time she wanted to??and nearly did.
The more than two million readers of Pelzer's New York Times and international bestselling memoirs A Child Called "It" and The Lost Boy know that he lived to tell his courageous story. With stunning generosity of spirit, Dave Pelzer invites readers on his journey to discover how he turned shame into pride and rejection into accep… (més)
Inhaltsangabe Die Fortsetzung des New York Times-Bestsellers "Der verlorene Sohn": Obwohl Dave beruflich Karriere macht, kann er sich von den Albträumen seiner Kindheit nur schwer lösen. Einzig die Geburt seines Sohnes ist ein wahrer Lichtblick für ihn: Ihm will Dave all die Wärme und Geborgenheit schenken, die er selbst so schmerzlich vermisst hat. (lovelybooks.de)
Pelzer finishes his trio of memoirs by writing of his time following high school, joining the Air Force and learning to overcome his upbringing as an abused child to become a functioning member of society. It's unfortunate that David had to gain coping skills the hard way but he has done a remarkable job in learning to manage his emotions, deal with his dysfunctional family and engage in a successful relationship with his son. It's rare that a memoirist treats the reader to the full scope of his or her journey, so this is quite a welcome resolution. I wish Pelzer the best as he continues through life. ( )
Boken är en uppföljare till “Pojken som kallades det”. Det är en väldigt sorglig och hemsk berättelse om vad en ung pojke får uppleva under sin uppväxt. Uppföljaren visar hur stark pojken var trots allt han gick igenom. Tragisk historia men som många egentligen går igenom. ( )
Very well written. I found this third part of Dave's series to be very different than the other two - leaving the theme of child abuse in the first one, overcoming child abuse in the second one to living a fulfilling and productive life and contributing to society. He lives a life that he will not live a life of pity and does whatever he can to overcome it. Well don Mr. Pelzer, you are a great esamble to us all. ( )
