Well Dave Pelzer definately has knocked my socks off, I have read all of the books and the final one I read for two-thirds of the day and actually feel quite drained !

i will have to try his 2 books after It then !

Yip Jewels, do you have A Child called IT ?

Cause the second two are better, the first just really is the background and the horrific abuse, I find the aftermath the most emotional during his teens and adult years. But definately worth the read. I cannot sing enough praises for the books.

"H" by Christiane F.
"Go ask Alice" by Anonomys

Both about drug abuse and teenage girls :bigcry:

And also "Not without my Daughter" - Sorry but I cannot find the book right now

And also "Where are the Children?" by Mary Higgins Clark (based upon a true story...)

But as far as happy stories are concerned it has to be Michael Ende's "Never Ending Story"

Oh My Goodness, I read a similar named book to "Go Ask Alice" (Cannot recall the title) when I was about 12. and I have NEVER forgotten that book!! After I read it, it was actually banned....and I could understand why, as it was shocking to read!!! It was by a girl who lived in Germany though....Would love to get a copy of it!!

As for Not Without My Daughter, I have heard about that, I will try and read it! :thumbs:

Orson Scott Card's 'Enders Game' and 'Saints'. The second book in particular had a great impact on me.

It's pretty much a toss up between two books: I have Life, as told by Mariann Thamm, and A Child Called It, by Dave Pelzer

Most definitely agree with you Pam!

Another book that made a great impact on me is Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. It is a true story, about his life growing up in Ireland. As much as what he is writing about is tragic, he writes in such an hilarious way that I was constantly laughing. The book also inspired me, as, in spite of unbelievable hardships, this guy had dreams which he was determined to reach ... and successfully did so
