Non-Fiction History
On April 14, 1989, in California's idyllic Sonoma Valley,
Mexican immigrant RamÓn Salcido went on a rampage, killing
his wife, her two younger sisters, his mother-in-law, and
his wife's suspected lover. Then he slashed the throats of
his three young daughters—ages four years, three years, and
twenty-two months—and left them for dead in the county dump.
A day later, when the children's bodies were finally
discovered, three-year-old Carmina was miraculously still
alive. "Daddy cut me," she told her rescuers. In Not Lost Forever, Carmina Salcido reaches back into her
traumatic past to reconstruct, in sobering detail, her
father's crimes and their aftermath. Recalling with
clear-eyed candor, courage, and grace the horrific event and
troubled childhood that followed, a remarkable young woman
carries readers along on her miraculous journey of survival,
discovery, and hope.
