From Richard B. Pelzer comes a powerful and confronting true story that offers a different perspective on a well-known family narrative of abuse and survival.

In this deeply personal memoir, Richard shares his experience growing up in the same household made famous by his brother’s story. When his brother is removed from the home, Richard becomes the new target of their mother’s abuse—forced to endure physical and emotional trauma in a world defined by fear and control.

As he navigates childhood and adolescence under these conditions, Richard reflects on guilt, survival, and the long-lasting effects of trauma. Through resilience and the support of others, he begins a slow journey toward healing and self-understanding.
