Not Lost Forever: My Story of Survival

Description

Not Lost Forever is Carmina Salcido's remarkable story of survival and healing following the 1986 murderous rampage by her father, Mexican immigrant Ramon Salcido in the wine country of Sonoma Valley, California. Left for dead at three years old-her throat brutally slashed-Carmina miraculously survived what is widely considered one of California's most notorious crimes: the unthinkable attack that savagely destroyed seven innocent lives, including Carmina's entire family. At once a harrowing true crime story and the inspirational first-person account of a young girl's strength, heart, and determination in the nightmare's aftermath, Not Lost Forever is a shocking and profoundly moving tale of perseverance and hope, and of a precious life regained.

On leaving school Steve Jackson fell into journalism, where filling in expense forms gave him a solid grounding in fiction writing. From there he meandered through numerous occupations - musician, recording engineer, university drop-out, guitar tutor, riding instructor - before turning his hand to thriller writing. Born in Scotland, he spent most of his childhood with his nose in a book in deepest, darkest Gloucestershire. He currently lives in St Albans.
