A powerful book of human spirit, of a child's spirit raising from torment, surfferings, cold mother. This is not a happy book, but a book of courage. |

I read both A Child Called It and The Lost Boy last night. I am looking forward to his third sequel which I ordered. I am deeply grateful that he held on to survive against insurmountable odds, though just a child. Though my heart ached and tears flowed as I read, I truly admire his unselfish spirit... to help, encourage, and uplift another "abused" child out of the darkest pit. I feel his story needed to be told to bring attention to the enormity of abuse which springs all around our unsuspecting eyes. Thank you, David, for sharing your heartbreaking, yet, triumphant life with us. May God continue to embrace you and Stephen is my prayer.

David hides from the hardened hand of his vicious mother while never submitting to her torture. A Child Called IT tells the true story of a boy who withstands unimaginable physical and mental violence from a mother who had previously loved and cherished him. What happened to force such a change in behavior? David struggles with this questions while enduring a broken arm, being submerged in ice cold bath water, and being forced to eat his own vomit. Through all of the torment, the true strength of the human spirit begins to emerge. David's constant refusal to allow his mother to win drives his life and belief that someday he will be saved. Abandoned by a spineless father who withers in the mother's presence, David is foced to fend for himself. Not even his own brothers offer a hand to help. He fishes through the garbage for scraps of spoiled food and steals lunches from his classmates at school just to receive the basics for human survival. In the end, it was his courage and determination, combined with a caring school nurse and several teachers, that saved David from the suffering. A Child Called IT is simply a must read for those who want and need to be affected by a novel. The book will cast images upon the mind that will never leave. You will find yourself rooting for the boy and loathing all who cross him. Allow yourself the opportunity to read a piece that will change you view on the world and jump start your belief in the human spirit. |
