Book kindly donated for re-release and gratefully received. Thank you !
From back cover:
"As a child, Dave Pelzer never had a real home. Rescued from an alcoholic, abusive mother, his only possessions were the old torn clothes he carried in a paper bag; the only world he knew was one of isolation and fear.
In 'The Lost Boy' Dave Pelzer relives his life as a foster child, in and out of five different homes. There were those who felt that all foster kids were trouble - unworthy of love - and resented his presence, forcing him to suffer yet more shame. But through it all Dave never stopped hoping and searching for the love of a real family."
Book has been neatly covered to protect it on its journey, with an official BookCrossing sticker on the front.

I found this book at Wyreena, Croydon, Victoria, Australia. I was intrigued by the book crossing concept, so picked it up. I didn't much enjoy the book, finding it rather harrowing and bleak.
However I like the bookcrossing idea, and so I released it in July 2011 as far away as I could manage -
it is waiting on the library/book swap shelf at Kirawirra Tented Camp in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania.
