David J. Pelzer’s mother, Catherine Roerva, was, he writes in this ghastly, fascinating memoir, a devoted den mother to the Cub Scouts in her care, and somewhat nurturant to her children–but not to David, whom she referred to as “an It.” This book is a brief, horrifying account of the bizarre tortures she inflicted on him, told from the point of view of the author as a young boy being starved, stabbed, smashed face-first into mirrors, forced to eat the contents of his sibling’s diapers and a spoonful of ammonia, and burned over a gas stove…

I’m looking for a book which deals with a family who let their kids run wild and refuse to enforce discipline. Not sure if it’s fiction or fact. I’ve been told it’s a 1970s book and has a title similar to The Ice House. Any ideas or alternative suggestions? many thanks
