Richard B. Pelzer is a memoirist who wrote about his experiences growing up in an abusive household in Daly City, California. His first book, A Brother’s Journey: Surviving a Childhood of Abuse (2000), told the story of what happened to him after his older brother Dave was removed from the home. The book became a New York Times bestseller.
