A brother's journey / Pelzer, Richard B

Richard is David Pelzer's brother. While Dave was removed from his mother's home by the time he was twelve years old, his brother Richard was not. He became the new scapegoat for his mother's alcohol-fueled wrath. How he survived years of his mother's abuse is the subject of this book.

The author describes his childhood filled with nightly beatings and unspeakable abuse by his mother and how he found the courage to survive.
