- Synopsis
- The story of Dave Pelzer is a legend of our times: the shattering tale of the child called 'It' who was forced to live in the basement. His mother was the perpetrator of the horror, but she had a willing accomplice. It was Dave's little brother Richard - the author of this book. When Dave was twelve the police removed him from the household, but the cycle of abuse continued. At the age of nine, Richard became the new 'It'.Ultimately, the only way to survive was to escape. As well as evoking the tortuous environment in which he lived, Richard B. Pelzer recounts how he managed to leave it, and how he arrived at his ultimate destination. For A Brother's Journey is a voyage of both body and spirit, one that led Richard to a place of safety, to redemption, and to reconciliation with the whipping boy who, once and again, is his brother.
