Dave Pelzer's incredible and inspiring life story has already captured the interest of more than one million readers.

A Child Called 'It' was so riveting, neither I nor my staff could put it down!

Dave is a living example that all of us have the capability to better ourselves no matter what the odds. One's life is forever changed after living through the eyes of A Child Called 'It'. John Bradshaw, bestselling author of Homecoming
