A Child Called "It" By Dave Pelzer A Child Called "It" is a true story based on the life of Dave Pelzer. This book tells how an abusive mother treated one of her sons and about his will to stay alive. This was a very emotional, heart touching book. At first David's life was a normal life.

Other than that I highly suggest reading this book it is really good.
