This book chronicles the unforgettable account of one of the most severe child abuse cases in California history. It is the story of Dave Pelzer, who was brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother: a mother who played tortuous, unpredictable games—games that left him nearly dead. He had to learn how to play his mother's games in order to survive because she no longer considered him a son, but a slave; and no longer a boy, but an "it." Dave's bed was an old army cot in the basement, and his clothes were torn and raunchy. When his mother allowed him the luxury of food, it was nothing more than spoiled scraps that even the dogs refused to eat. The outside world knew nothing of his living nightmare. He had nothing or no one to turn to, but his dreams kept him alive—dreams of someone taking care of him, loving him and calling him their son.

With no dreams, I found that words like hope and faith were only letters, randomly put together into something meaningless - words only for fairy tales. (查看原文)

上班时划水读完,比想象中更残忍。《当你像鸟飞过你的山》里面是被极端宗教扭曲的情感,这本是人性底层的邪恶和无常。没有人能对那些孩子的感受感同身受,没有人知道究竟何以为之。施暴亦受暴,保持理解而非仇恨,我们能做的只有这些。
