Danny Trejo's path from crime, prison, addiction, and loss (The New York Times Book Review). The actor Danny Trejo portrays a nasty guy who has at least 100 murders to his credit on screen. He has been cut up, crushed, hanged, shot, and stabbed.Off screen, he?s a hero beloved by recovery communities and obsessed fans alike. But the real Danny Trejo is much more complicated than the legend. Raised in an abusive home, Danny struggled with heroin addiction and stints in some of the country?s most notorious state prisons?including San Quentin and Folsom?from an early age, before starring in such modern classics as Heat, From Dusk till Dawn, and Machete. Now, in this funny, painful, and suspenseful memoir, Danny takes us through the incredible ups and downs of his life, including meeting one of the world?s most notorious serial killers in prison and working with legends like Charles Bronson and Robert De Niro. An honest, unflinching, and ?inspirational study in the definition of character? (Kevin Smith, director and actor), Trejo reveals how he managed the horrors of prison, rebuilt himself after finding sobriety and spirituality in solitary confinement, and draws inspiration from the adrenaline-fueled robbing heists of his past for the film roles that made him a household name. He also shares the painful contradictions in his personal life. Although he speaks everywhere from prison yards to NPR about his past to inspire countless others on their own road to recovery and redemption, he struggles to help his children with their personal battles with addiction, and to build relationships that last. Redemptive and painful, poignant and real, Trejo is a portrait of a magnificent life and an unforgettable and exceptional journey.
