I'm looking forward to this one! I'm reading the first one, A CHILD CALLED IT, now. I've heard of them before, certainly, but have never read them until now. Take care.

Needs a spell check as I don't do them. But has been read through and I fixed all errors I found. 242 pages. Help Yourself By Dave Pelzer From the Book jacket: As more than three million readers have learned from his three previous books, Dave Pelzer doesn't believe in feeling sorry for himself. Abused mercilessly by his mother as a child, Dave has taken everything that happened to him and turned it into something positive so that he can help others. Now happily married and with a child of his own, he celebrates the twin pillars of strength that saw him through his darkest hours: resilience and gratitude. And he shows how anyone can tap in to these virtues to live a better and more fulfilling life In Help Yourself, Dave Pelzer explains how we can move beyond a painful history, harmful negative thoughts, and innumerable setbacks by taking control and being accountable for our lives. Filled with his own history as well as the personal struggles of those who have followed his three-step plan for turning adversity into triumph rousing call to people who want real answers to real problems.
