This and all of Dave's books are absolutely heart-breaking! These are true confessions from Dave, that describe his personal experience with child abuse, which almost lead to death. I have never been so touched by reading a book. To tell you the truth, "a child called it was one of the first books that I read from beginning to end, and wasn't forced to. I couldn't put the book down, read it every time I had a chance. Thats how I feel about all of his books. He truely is a walking angel, and I owe a lot to him as I believe that from reading his books he has changed my life forever! I will continue to recemmend these books to all caring people!Text

I love this book because I felt the same way you felt when you where younger. Thinks for telling me your story. I now expanied my knowledge even farther into a great area. Just keep your hopes up and never give up. Rember that someone above you loves and cares for you other wise you wouldnt be here right now, telling all of us your very sad storys. Thanks.
