M.P. writes the following about The Child Called It :

THE CHILD CALLED IT WAS THE MOST GRUESOME AND MOST INTERESTING BOOK I HAVE READ IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. THE WAY THAT DAVID SURVIVED THE ABUSE OF HIS MOTHER IS EXTORDINARY BECAUSE NOT MANY 7-8 YEAR OLDS NOW HOW TO SURVIVE THAT KIND OF TORTURE. I CAN RELATE TO THE THINGS THAT DAVID WENT THROUGH, I WAS IN A HOME ENVIORMENT IN WHICH I HAD TO OBSERVE MY MOTHER AND MY SISTER BEING ABUSED BY MY SISTERS FATHER AND I HAD TO LEAVE MY FAMILY BEHIND. I KNOW HOW IT IS TO WANT A FAMILY THAT SEES YOU LIKE A CHILD AND NOT LIKE A STRANGER. I KNOW HOW IT IS TO BE WANTED AND I KNOW THE OVERALL EXPERIENCES THAT ISOLATED KIDS CAN GO THROUGH. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE WHO SEES THEMSELVES AS "THE LUCKY ONES" BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE THAT IS "LUCKY", AND THEY SHOULD READ THIS TO GET SOME CLARIFICATION ON LIFE ITSELF AND HOW OTHERS DEAL WITH MISERY AND PAIN EVERYDAY OF THERE LIFES.
