À propos de cet audio

 The Lost Boy spent over two years on the New York Times best-seller list and has profoundly influenced more than one million readers' lives.

Following the tremendous success of Pulitzer Prize nominee A Child Called "It", this book continues the extraordinary tale of author Dave Pelzer's childhood. On the verge of adolescence, Dave is rescued from his terrifyingly abusive, alcoholic mother and made a permanent ward of the court. Then the real journey begins. He is moved from one foster home to another, searching for identity and family. A rebellious, defiant boy, Dave seeks attention by shoplifting and even spends time in juvenile detention when suspected of arson. Finally, after five sets of foster parents, he finds a mother and father who love him.

Pelzer, who has received commendations from Presidents Reagan, Bush, and Clinton, travels throughout the world inspiring others through speeches and work to prevent child abuse. His courageous story is enhanced by Brian Keeler's thoughtful narration.

I think it takes a special kind of person to be a foster parent. The love and kindness shown to this boy was wonderful. I'm super happy that in the end he had a good life.

Poor boy

So sad to heart that a mother could do that to one of the children.

Compelling, sad and courageous. I read David’s first book, A Boy Called It, prior to this, and suggest you do the same. It provides a lot of context. I learned a lot about the generosity of foster parents. Keep listening at the end for an afterword.

Compelling
