520    "For the first time, the full, fascinating, and 
       inspirational true story of Danny Trejo's journey from 
       crime, prison, addiction, and loss to unexpected fame as 
       Hollywood's favorite bad guy with a heart of gold. On 
       screen, Danny Trejo the actor is a baddie who has been 
       killed at least a hundred times. He's been shot, stabbed, 
       hanged, chopped up, squished by an elevator, and once, was
       even melted into a bloody goo. 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. In honest, unflinching detail,
       Danny recounts 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 through tragedy, 
       pain, and, finally, success that will transfix and 
       inspire."--|cProvided by publisher.
