The book that I really like very much is (A CHILD CALLED "IT") .. It's a sad story that my heart was broken because of it .. I felt that I was living with him at that period ..
Good Luck ..
Enjoy your life :)

hey,
I have read your books and i am very sorry that you had to go through that and no child should ever have to go through that i also think that you are a awsome person for getting help when you needed it and for coming out and telling the world what you have went through that takes a lot of courage and i thank you for sharing your life story with me and the rest of the world.

I read this book with a teacher and classmates everyone wanted to read more. The class loved it, i thought that what dave's mother did to him wasn't right. i loved the book, the child called "it". that is the most sadest thing i ever read in my life. *sobbs*
