No longer considered a son, or a boy, but an 'it', Dave had to learn how to play these games in order to survive. His bed was an old army cot in the basement and when he was allowed food it was scraps from the dogs' bowl. Throughout, Dave kept alive the dream of finding a family who would love and care for him. This is an inspirational look at the horrors of child abuse and the steadfast determination of one child to survive despite the odds. THE LOST BOY: The harrowing but ultimately uplifting true story of Dave's journey through the foster-care system in search of a family who will love him. A MAN NAMED DAVE: The gripping conclusion to this inspirational trilogy. With extraordinary generosity of spirit, Dave takes us on a journey into his past. At last he confronts his father and ultimately his mother. Finally, Dave finds the courage to break the chains of the past and learn to love, trust and live for the future. 808792 26 9 2002 My Story: "A Child Called It", "The Lost Boy", "A Man Named Dave" total:1916|5:785|4:637|3:373|2:92|1:29| 1916 7805 2492 295 4 4 false false Sun Sep 02 18:22:26 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 02 20:16:50 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 2 false false Tue Jan 08 17:41:27 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 08 17:45:11 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 11:54:19 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 12:05:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Tue Mar 17 15:55:09 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 07:48:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Jun 27 01:26:56 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 01:27:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Mar 23 18:47:47 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 23 18:55:36 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Nov 18 06:12:27 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 06:48:07 -0800 2008 Ms. Rogal
