This was one heck of a ride. I stumbled upon this gem through the Celebrity Memoir Book Club podcast, and I highly recommend checking out their episode on it. I hadn’t expected Trejo's story to be so incredibly unique and gripping, but I was pleasantly surprised. Trejo's recounting of his childhood is vivid and raw, making it impossible not to empathize with his journey. But what sets this memoir apart is the sheer amount of growth, reflection, and grace woven throughout. Trejo doesn’t sugarcoat his past. He owns up to his mistakes and lays bare the motivations behind his actions, all while exploring how his relationship with himself and his faith have shaped his understanding and growth. His discussions about his daughter and how she transformed his perspective on women hit me immediately. Recovery and faith are central themes here, but they're seamlessly integrated into the narrative without feeling preachy. Honestly, I finished this book feeling like a better person. Trejo's reminders about gratitude and positivity hit home in a way that's hard to put into words without sounding cheesy. This memoir is action-packed with a powerful message, and I’m buying every bit of it. It’s a must-read that left me inspired and grateful for the journey.
Audiobook- narrated by Danny Trejo. What a fascinating life. He is exceptionally open, vulnerable, and honest throughout the book.
