"A Child Called It", an autobiographical book, chronicles Pelzer's harrowing experience of child abuse. His follow-up book to that one was "The Lost Boy" and concerned his life in foster homes. Dave Pelzer willed himself to overcome the worst life had to offer (his case of child abuse was one of the worst recorded cases in US history) and became the best he could be. "Help Yourself" weaves in stories from Pelzer's own experiences with the principles he has discovered on how to survive difficulty.
Author of the bestselling A Child Called It , The Lost Boy, and A Man Named Dave, in 1994 Dave was selected as one of The Outstanding Young Persons of the World for his efforts including child abuse awareness and prevention, as well as for instilling resilience in others. His books are multi-million copy bestsellers the world over.
