Description

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 Trejo’s journey from crime, prison, addiction, and loss—it’s “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. 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.

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 that proves “though we may fall down at some point in our lives, it’s what we do when we stand back up that really counts” (Robert Rodriguez, filmmaker and producer).

You’ve Got to Get to Know Trejo

It had to be read by Danny Trejo. No one else could capture the essence of such a life as the one who lived it. I laughed out loud several times and I loved hearing Danny laugh. The characters he portrays plus, the first 25 years of his life, gave him little to laugh about I’m sure. To hear him laugh as he recounts his stories, made me smile. I couldn’t put the book down. I especially loved the story about Mrs. Finley and the Yanomami Tribe! So funny! God bless you Danny in your sobriety.

What a whirlwind!

I've loved watching Danny trahoe in movies since I was a kid and II always knew there was a Vivid history to him but I wasn't sure The depth of his story besides what I've heard on podcasts.. Danny's story brought me to tears throughout various parts of the book and I am a grown ass man.

I highly recommend this book and will definitely listen to it more than once. If I come across anyone that's looking for something to read or an audio book this will be my 1st suggestion.
