Too Close to Me

A childhood filled with trauma and abuse impacts a person for a lifetime. But making sense of those experiences, moving towards wholeness, allows the adult survivor to create a meaningful, satisfying and relational adulthood. But how does this come about? Dave Pelzer, whose first book, A Child Called It, eloquently exposed his story of unimaginable physical and emotional abuse, has now written Too Close to Me. This latest book deeply explores how those early experiences affect his marriage, his parenting, his work; indeed, every aspect of his adult life. Talking honestly about his current life offers encouragement and perspective to us all. Yes, we can heal and find meaningful lives full of love. And yes, there is hard work, honesty and attention required to get there!
