3She grew up celebrating holidays with Sal's family. She trick-or-treated with his daughter. Yet Deb knew nothing about Sal's past until he called out of the blue and asked her to write his story.

It is the heartbreaking account of evading murder, and a brutally honest reflection of a life lived trying to escape the memories.
