Pelzer touched thousands with his own heart-wrenching account of an abusive childhood in his New York Times bestseller A Brother's Journey. Now, in A TEENAGER'S JOURNEY, Richard reveals how the horrific treatment he endured as a boy affected him throughout his teenage years. As an adolescent, he found himself turning to drugs--even contemplating suicide--as he struggled to separate and live an autonomous life, away from his horrifying family situation. His salvation finally came when a surrogate family took him in, offering comfort, hope, and unconditional love--and, ultimately, the transformational power of forgiveness. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Dave Pelzer Books You just cannot phantom what Mr. Pelzer went through as a child. The courage is unbelievable and I admire him so very much.

Mr. Pelzer's books are about himself and his horrible life as a child, teenager and young man. You have to read these books to better understand how much abuse is in our world. Then maybe it will help you realize that something needs ...

Rating: - First review I often read reviews of books that I am considering for purchase. I read "A Brother's Journey" and found it to be a better read, that kept my interest and that had some good writing. With this book, "A Teenager's Journey" I was somewhat disappointed. Since I depend so often on others reviews of books, I am beginning to think that I need to take the time to review what I have purchased. Again, I sympathize with both Richard and David, but this book did not make me feel strong emotions that made me want to ...
