A Brother's Journey Summary
| The world was shocked when A Child Called "It" was published in 1995. In that book, which sold millions of copies worldwide, Dave Pelzer told of horrific abuse from his mother and his brother Richard. Fortunately for Dave, he was removed from the Pelzer household by the time he was 12 years old. Unfortunately, Mrs. Pelzer needed a new target for her alcohol-induced wrath. She began abusing Richard violently: beating him nightly, shoving Tabasco sauce down his throat, denying him clean clothes, and physically abusing him to the point of hospitalization. But this time, she made sure his wounds didn't show--she wasn't going to allow Richard to escape her house, too. It is a story about how one little boy found the courage to survive years of physical abuse--and how the human spirit can triumph over the most severe circumstances. |
