Mimi's Bucket List!

Years ago I read and raved about A Child Called "It". I couldn't fathom a mother hurting her own child as much as this crazed lunatic. It made me realize that even though we all have a right to privacy, we also have the responsibility to report suspected activities to the appropriate authorities. There are times when things are none of your business, and there are times when you need to make it your business. Learn the line and don't cross it! That being said, years after my first time reading this book and its sequels, I discovered that David Pelzer's brother, Richard, came out with a book highlighting a different perspective of David's experiences as well as his own traumatic experiences.

A Brother's Journey did not leave me in awe with the writing, but it was interesting to read Richard's accounts of what happened when he was just a child. It's hard to say anything more without giving too much away, so I can't say much more than--it can be repetitive at times and worth the read if you can keep from comparing it to his brother's book!
