Description:

The Lost Boy is the sequel to Pelzer's autobiography of his abusive childhood. Here he tells us his story starting with leaving his abusive mother and alcoholic father, on to the events in his five foster homes and then juvenile detention, then how he finally decided to join the Air Force. He was very close with many of his teachers and guardians, as well as some social workers, despite his naturally rebellious personality. Pelzer writes in a very gentle style, never bitter or hostile about his experiences, but also tends to leave a lot of unanswered questions and thoughts about how he turned his life around as well as about his personal relationships with his son and the mother of his son.

    • The Lost Boy

      Heartbreaking and heroic. A follow up book to A CHILD CALLED IT. A tragic truth of one of the worst cases of child abuse in California history - and the strength and passion of the boy to whom the abuse was committed. This is his heroic story.

    • AMAZING

      I absolutely recommend EVERYONE read this book i was about 14 when i first read it i am 22 now and i can still remember everything about this book im not much for reading but when i found this book i ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN when i borrowed it from a friend of mine i read it 3 times in just a few days i was completely astonished that i found a book that brought me to tears, made me so angry, and feel so sorrowful for this young boy (man) This book is great for anyone ages 12 to 99. Dave Pelzer is my hero for what he has overcome.
