A book that I have most recently read was called "A Child Called 'It'." The book was about a boy who was abused as a child by his mother. His mother treated him, like he wasnt even her child. His mother made him do things like eat his little brothers scrapes of food and cereal for his dinner. She would let him eat food without only eating small amounts, she made him starve sometimes depending on her mood. She really tourchered the little boy.  The story was so sad and made me value everything that I am given from day to day.
