Book Review:
''A Child Called 'It''' is a harrowing, unforgettable, and profoundly inspirational New York Times bestseller that details author Dave Pelzer's survival of one of the most severe child abuse cases in California history. This memoir recounts his brutal mistreatment at the hands of an alcoholic and mentally unstable mother, who subjected him to unimaginable torture, starvation, and psychological games, referring to him not as a son, but as an ''it.''

Despite the darkness of his story, the book is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Pelzer's unyielding determination to survive against all odds makes this a difficult but essential read. It serves as a stark awakening to the realities of child abuse and a moving reminder of the strength we all possess to overcome adversity. A deeply impactful story that changes the reader's perspective forever.
