Ø Author: David Pelzer
Ø Genre: Adult Novel
Ø Rating: 4/5 stars
Ø Why I read this book: It has been on my reading list for years.
Ø About the Book: This is a true story about David who had been abused and neglected by his mother for years. It isn't until later in his childhood that his teachers step in and get him taken away from his mother. David is then sent on his journey as a foster child, looking for love and acceptance. He is moved from foster home to foster home throughout his life, a lost boy in a sea of people.
Ø Recommendation: I believe David's story is one that can help foster kids realize that their is hope in the world. I believe that it gives people that have never been in the foster system a glimpse of what it would be like to feel like you are not cared for. It's a horribly sad and uplifting story.
