The Lost Boy

Dave Pelzer's sequel to the million-copy bestseller "A Child Called 'It'" tells the story of his childhood, during which he was brutally beaten and starved by his mother. The world was unaware of his living nightmare, and he had nothing and no one to turn to. However, his dreams kept him alive—dreams of someone taking care of him, loving him, and calling him their son. Eventually, his horrific plight could no longer be hidden from the outside world, and Dave's life radically changed. "The Lost Boy" is the harrowing yet ultimately uplifting true story of a boy's journey through the foster-care system in search of a family to love. This continuation of Dave Pelzer's story is a moving sequel and an inspirational read for all.
