In this memoir of true crime and survival, a woman recounts the remarkable story of her fatherâs murderous rampage and how she was left for dead. On April 14, 1989, in Californiaâs idyllic Sonoma Valley, Mexican immigrant Ramón Salcido went on a rampage, killing his wife, her two younger sisters, his mother-in-law, and his wifeâs suspected lover. Then he slashed the throats of his three young daughtersâages four years, three years, and twenty-two monthsâand left them for dead in the county dump. A day later, when the childrenâs bodies were finally discovered, three-year-old Carmina was miraculously still alive. âDaddy cut me,â she told her rescuers. In Not Lost Forever, Carmina Salcido reaches back into her traumatic past to reconstruct, in sobering detail, her fatherâs 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. |
