Philip Gonzalez and Dave Pelzer, two authors who shared their heartwarming stories about their own lives. Philip had the sweetest dog in the world and wrote about her in Ginny, the Dog Who Rescues Cats. Philip (with Ginny's help, of course), who went out of his way to help abused and neglected cats and who himself was rescued by Ginny. And Dave Pelzer, who endured a childhood of pure hell (to put it mildly). Not only did he recover from the abuse but excelled in spite of it. In fact, it was BECAUSE of it that he is the man he is today.
