Amazon.com Review

David J. Pelzer's mother, Catherine Roerva, was, he writes in this

ghastly, fascinating memoir, a devoted den mother to the Cub

Scouts in her care, and somewhat nurturant to her children--but

not to David, whom she referred to as "an It." This book is a brief,

horrifying account of the bizarre tortures she inflicted on him,

told from the point of view of the author as a young boy being

starved, stabbed, smashed face-first into mirrors, forced to eat

the contents of his sibling's diapers and a spoonful of ammonia,

and burned over a gas stove by a maniacal, alcoholic mom. Sometimes she claimed he had violated some rule--no walking

on the grass at school!--but mostly it was pure sadism. Inexplicably, his father didn't protect him; only an alert schoolteacher saved David. One wants to learn more about his ordeal and its aftermath, and now he's written a sequel, The Lost Boy, detailing his life in the foster-care

system.



Though it's a grim story, A Child Called "It" is very much in the

tradition of Chicken Soup for the Couple's Soul and the many books

in that upbeat series, whose author Pelzer thanks for helping get

his book going. It's all about weathering adversity to find love,

and Pelzer is an expert witness.
