Mom has no one like David around to beat on anymore. I am more afraid of her than ever...I get in more trouble for anything I do or say. Now I find that I'm always in trouble and I don't know why. Now that David is gone, I'm afraid that she will try to kill me, like she tried to kill him. I'm afraid that she will treat me like an animal like she did him. I'm afraid that now I'm her IT. The Pelzer family's secret life of fear and abuse was first revealed in Dave Pelzer's inspiring New York Times bestseller, A Child Called "It," followed by The Lost Child and A Man Called Dave. Here, for the first time, Richard Pelzer tells the courageous and moving story of his abusive childhood. From tormenting his brother David to becoming himself the focus of his mother's wrath to his ultimate liberation-here is a horrifying glimpse at what existed behind closed doors in the Pelzer home. Equally important, Richard Pelzer's touching account is a testament to the strength of the human heart and its capacity to triumph over almost unimaginable trauma.

- Richard Pelzer saw firsthand the abuse the child they called 'It' endured. Richard himself was often Dave's tormentor in order to stay on the good side of their mother. But when Dave was taken away from home and put into foster care after his abuse was reported to the police, Richard became the new 'It'. He grew up not only suffering horrendous abuse himself but also wracked with guilt over his treatment of his brother. This is a harrowing tale, but also a story of courage, as Richard also escapes his tormentor and manages to rebuild his life. In later years the two brothers were reunited and are now on good terms.
