Known for his work as a child abuse advocate, Pelzer has been commended by several U.S. presidents and international agencies, and his previous memoirs of growing up as an abused child (<I>A Child Called "It"</I> and <I>The Lost Boy</I>) have touched thousands of lives. He provides living proof that we can "stop the cycle" and lead fulfilling, rewarding lives full of healthy relationships. Ultimately triumphant, this book will have you living through the eyes of a terrified child, a struggling young man, and an adult finally forgiving his dying father--reading with tissues nearby is recommended. Ending with a touching conversation between the author and his own son, you'll finish reading this with a warm heart and an enriched understanding of the need for compassion in all parts of life. <I>--Jill Lightner</I> 969470 book 1999 A Man Named Dave: A Story of Triumph and Forgiveness total:3772|5:64|4:61|3:68|2:27|1:8| 3772 13954 4837 316 73864 0452281903 9780452281905 3304 281 3.70 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255605315m/73864.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/73864.A_Man_Named_Dave_A_Story_of_Triumph_and_Forgiveness 4 0 false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 09:08:56 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 09:13:34 -0800 2009 more...]]> 73864 0452281903 9780452281905 3304 281 3.70 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255605315m/73864.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/73864.A_Man_Named_Dave_A_Story_of_Triumph_and_Forgiveness 2 0 false Sat Oct 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 04:38:31 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 04:41:41 -0700 2009
