A Man Named Dave: A Story of Triumph and Forgiveness Review: Another awesome book in the 3-book series! Horrifying abuse story, but inspirational how he overcame it ALL. - This is the 3rd book in the series which cover's Dave's teenage and adult life up until he has his 2 true loves - his wife and son! The terrible horrifying abuse he went through is unlike anything you've ever known and you'll wonder how anyone could be so cruel to their own son! However, as you read through all 3 books, you'll see how inspiring it is that he grew up to be the man he is today. This is a page-turner you won't want to put down! The 3 books in the series are: A Child Called It, The Lost Boy and A Man Named Dave. I strongly suggest and highly recommend you buy all 3 books because when you start reading the first one, you won't put it down until you get to the very end of his life story, which is in the 3 book that he finally seems settled with his loving wife and a son he loves more than life itself....it shows how he went from absolutely nothing to being an award winning writer and public speaker who has helped tons of people! I recently purchased his brother's book, "A Brother's Journey", by Richard Pelzer and will be starting it soon... When Dave was removed from the home at age 12, unfortunately his brother Richard took his place at the hands of an extremely abusive mother. If it's anything like Dave's first 3 books, I won't be able to put it down until I'm finished! Yes, this is why I strongly suggest you get all 3 of Dave's books (and even the 4th, his brother's book) because each one I read, I did it in a little over one day! Unfortunately, I didn't have all three books... I had the first one... when I finished it, I went nuts waiting for the next 2 to arrive LOL. So don't be like me - have all 3, possibly 4, ready to read because you'll be very surprised how fast you'll go through each book - and YES it's that interesting you won't stop reading until completely done - with ALL of the books! ;-) Review: Love his books - Loved this book. Dave is an awesome author & person. It completed my A Child Called It collection. It was amazing what this man been through growing up. So glad he shared his experience so it may help somebody else who could be in the same situation. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #29,885 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Child Abuse (Books) #23 in Abuse Self-Help #755 in Memoirs (Books) | | Book 3 of 3 | Dave Pelzer | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (3,317) | | Dimensions | 4.95 x 0.71 x 7.4 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0452281903 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0452281905 | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 284 pages | | Publication date | September 1, 2000 | | Publisher | Plume | ## Images ![A Man Named Dave: A Story of Triumph and Forgiveness - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81fplBm7GAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another awesome book in the 3-book series!

Dave is an awesome author & person. It completed my A Child Called It collection. It was amazing what this man been through growing up. So glad he shared his experience so it may help somebody else who could be in the same situation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspiring and motivating, just as compelling as books one and two *by K***H on July 17, 2013* A Man Named Dave was the third installment in the Dave Pelzer trilogy. This book chronicled his life from ages 18 and up. It was just as compelling as the first two books, and, once again, I could not put this book down! There is something so powerful and gripping about Dave's writing. I found myself rooting for his happiness and success throughout the entire book, and cried at the emotional ending. My husband and I were driving to a specialist's office two hours away from our home, and we were supposed to be having quality time together, as my mom was home with our baby and we had all morning to talk uninterrupted. However, I was a bad wife and read A Man Named Dave for nearly an hour instead of talking to my sweet husband! I didn't want to do it, and hated myself for it, but I was close to the end of the book and just had to know what happened to Dave! My husband asked, "Is this the last book in this series? I am so tired of you not talking to me while you keep reading these books!" I told him that it was, but then, at the end of the book, I saw that Dave has written two motivational books (which I immediately bought) so my husband is going to have to put up with me having my nose in a Dave Pelzer book for a little longer! Dave's main focus in this novel was trying to find answers as to why his mother abused him the way she did. Despite the fact that he was rescued from her household at age 12, and eventually found love from a foster family, he still seeks his mother's love and acceptance. He has several emotionally draining and painful encounters with his mother in this book, and while he never fully gains the closure he so desires, he does come to a place of acceptance and forgiveness. The fact that Dave can forgive his mother shows what a strong and inherently good person he is. Dave has not had an easy life, and in fact, it is hard to believe all of the hard times he has endured. I'm not saying I don't believe him, it's just sad that someone could have so many hardships. But, he finds happiness in the end, and I loved that. He is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a great example of what faith in God can do for a person. I give this book, and the series as a whole, the highest of recommendations. I loved it, and will definitely be reading Dave's other books. I want his secret--I want to be motivated to live as positively as he does! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/352203-a-man-named-dave-a-story-of-triumph-and-forgiveness](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/352203-a-man-named-dave-a-story-of-triumph-and-forgiveness) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
