“A Child Called It: One Child’s Courage to Survive” by Dave Pelzer is a harrowing memoir recounting the author’s childhood abuse at the hands of his mother. Pelzer describes his life in extreme detail, illustrating the horrific conditions he endured from a young age. His mother, once loving, becomes increasingly cruel, subjecting him to physical, emotional, and psychological torment. Over the years, he is deprived of food, beaten, and forced to perform degrading tasks. Despite his father’s inability to intervene, Pelzer clings to the hope of survival, yearning for a sense of normalcy and care. The story captures his resilience, as he is treated as less than human by his own family, but never loses the will to survive.

Throughout the memoir, Pelzer’s courage and strength of spirit are central themes, as he describes his emotional and physical struggles in vivid detail. His experience highlights the devastating effects of abuse on a child’s psyche, but also the transformative power of hope. Despite being isolated from the outside world, Pelzer finds moments of inner strength that enable him to endure. Eventually, he is rescued from his mother’s grip, and the book ends on a note of triumph, showing that even in the most extreme circumstances, the human spirit can prevail. A Child Called It is a heartbreaking yet inspirational testament to the resilience of the human soul.
