 A Brother's Journey
This book is as moving emotionally as the other books by Dave Pelzer.
Once I started reading this book I could put it down. I was moved beyond words.
you experience so many different emotions and wonder How could this have happened un- noticed? I am so sorry, but it is beyond my understanding how a parent can do this to a child she gave birth to. She was a monster!!
Since I read most of the books by Dave Pelzer and this one it has made me more aware of the abuse that does go on and why kids do not tell. I am more watchful of things that may be a sign in child who may be in need of help.
If I had not read the books for myself I do not think I would have believed it if someone had told me about it...you would think a child could not survive such abuse, but they did and this is a sign of the resilence of a child who has the will to survive against all odds.

A Great Book As Well....
I was also touched by Richard's book as well. It's terrible how she went from Dave to him as the next victim of her terrible abuse. I give Richard a lot of credit for sharing his story as well. This is a must read.
