A Man Named Dave
2000
A Man Named Dave is the gripping conclusion to his inspirational trilogy.
With stunning generosity of spirit, Dave invites his readers on his journey to discover how he turned shame into pride and rejection into
acceptance–how a lost, nameless boy finally found himself in the heart and soul of a man who is free at last.
The Lost Boy
1997
Having been subjected to years of extreme physical and psychological suffering, Dave fights for a stable setting, but finds himself moving in and out of five different homes, while continuing the fight to cope with his past. Throughout Dave’s journey, social service personnel, educators, counselors, and foster parents give their all to ensure Dave’s well-being and protection from his vindictive mother, who, at one point, wishes to have Dave committed to a mental institution.
The second part of a trilogy series*, The Lost Boy sets the standard as a sequel, yet stands alone as an inspirational, behind-the-scenes, unique tribute to the unsung heroes who dedicate themselves to making a difference in the lives of children in peril.
