Description
'A story where love, kindness, patience and endurance triumph' Daily Mail
*****
Brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable and alcoholic mother, Dave became a slave; he was no longer a boy, but an 'it'. His bed was an old army cot in the basement, his clothes torn and unwashed, and when he was allowed the luxury of food it was scraps from the dog's bowl. The outside world knew nothing of the nightmare played out behind closed doors. But throughout it all, Dave kept alive dreams of finding a family to love him.
A Child Called 'It' shares the emotional story of the early years of his life, detailing the horrors of child abuse and the steadfast determination of one child to survive. It is the first book in the My Story trilogy.
'Heartfelt... cannot fail to move you' Heat

Media Reviews
A story where love, kindness, patience and endurance triumph * Daily Mail *
A powerful account that spares few details, but ultimately this story is one of struggle in adversity, one of hope and of freedom... It is the sort of story that we need to know about, the sort of story that we cannot deny * NSPCC *
Truly touching, and emotionally shocking. A marvel * Best *
His tale will both break and warm your heart * Mirror *
