My Take

Dave Pelzer is one of those people whose story genuinely stops you in your tracks. Born in Daly City, California in 1960, he survived years of severe abuse at the hands of his own mother — the kind of childhood that most people couldn't process, let alone turn into a bestselling memoir. And yet that's exactly what he did: his 1995 book "A Child Called It" spent years on the New York Times Best Seller list and sold millions of copies, not because it was an easy read, but because it was brutally honest. What gets me is that he didn't just survive and disappear — he served in the U.S. Air Force, built a life, and then had the guts to go back and write it all down so others wouldn't feel alone in their own pain. That takes a specific kind of courage that's hard to put a name to.
