Since the publication of 'A child called it' by Dave Pelzer there hasn't been a story like this But this is not just another harrowing story about an excruciating childhood & the ravages on a life it produces The difference is that Mez not only escaped from his 'trial by parent' but he discovered a hope that has transformed his life He in turn has helped others find hope in their lives Mez's story is told with a frankness & wit that hides much of the pain & despair that was his everyday experience Do you like happy endings? Mez still suffers from his experiences but you'll be amazed at how far you can be restored from such a beginning
