I am a foster parent, and to the person that assumed that the author lied, should do some soul searching. I have meet the author and his story is true, along with many children all over the world. I too would have questioned things like that at one time until I received a child in my home that was chosen to be the one abused out of three. Things like that really happen. His story was written to help himself cope with what happened, and to help others that the same thing had happened too. Dave has several books out, I recommend that you read each of them. Please be aware that an abuser can look just like you and me.
