From #1 international bestselling author, speaker, and humanitarian Dave Pelzer comes the next chapter in his life how, after spending decades saving others in the military, as a fire captain, and an internationally acclaimed advocate, he needs to confront a way to save himself. On the surface, Dave Pelzer's life seems like an action movie he's walked the red carpet with celebrities and stood shoulder to shoulder with soldiers in Iraq, he's flown top-secret missions for the U.s. Air Force, obtaining the rank of chief, and battled wildfires in California as a volunteer fire captain. And nowon the eve of the 50-year anniversary of this rescue from horrific childhood of abuse and into the safety of the foster care system he reflects on the battles he's fighting in his own heart. From a lifetime spent serving and saving others, can he learn how to serve and save himself? Banished to his basement at age five, Dave Pelzer had cried a river of tears before most children learned to tie their shoes. His now classic books, A Child Called It and The Lost Boy, chronicled how he was brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother- a mother who nearly killed him multiple times. But despite the odds stacked against him, he rose to become a #1 New York Times bestselling author, inspirational speaker, and internationally recognized humanitarian.
