The Lost Boy by Dave Pelzer

The book I'm going to write about is titled The Lost Boy: A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family. The author of the book is David Pelzer. David wrote this book about his childhood. This story takes place in Daly City in 1997, after the previous book, A Child Called "It": One Child's Courage to Survive.

The book starts when David is nine years old, running away from home. David ended up at a nearby bar. Although the partons from the bar took care of him, they became worried and called the police. Shortly after the police came David was returned home to his abusive mother. Things started going downhill for David. He became involved with the wrong kind of company. All David really wanted was to hear his mother say "I love you" to him. Will he ever hear these words?

I thought this was a sad book. This book was also written very well. I would recommend this book to any one that loves a happy ending. You can purchase this book here: The Lost Boy: A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family .
