Trejo: My Life of Crime, Redemption, and Hollywood by Danny Trejo
5.0
A memoir I cannot recommend enough!
Trejo’s story is important and filled with truth about our prison system, generational trauma, addiction and recovery, and above all, redemption.
I grew up loving Trejo. He was the Mexican uncle I loved watching on TV (hello Spy Kids!). But I had no idea the journey he embarked all these years. I was moved.
I cried, I was shocked, and I was humbled by the fact that Trejo chose to share his story. He was real, he was modest, and he was unapologetically himself.
You’ll find a story of a man with a good heart, and the roughest circumstances. Despite it all, he was redeemed and was able to make the world a better place. Seriously!
Absolutely recommend. My top read of 2022.
