Описание: Danny Trejo is an American Treasure... If youre a fan like I am this is definitely the book for you. --Pete Davidson, actor, producer, and cast member on Saturday Night Live

From ex-con to icon. Dannys incredible life story shows that even though we may fall down at some point in our lives, its what we do when we stand back up that really counts. --Robert Rodriguez, creator of Spy Kids, Desperado, and Machete

In this celebration of a life fully lived (Reyna Grande, author of The Distance Between Us), discover the full, fascinating, and inspirational true story of Danny Trejos journey from crime, prison, addiction, and loss--its enough to make you believe in the possibility of a Hollywood ending (The New York Times Book Review).

On screen, Danny Trejo the actor is a baddie who has been killed at least a hundred times. Hes been shot, stabbed, hanged, chopped up, squished by an elevator, and once, was even melted into a bloody goo. Off screen, hes 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 countrys 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 worlds 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.
