Carmina Salcido?s autobiography ?Not Lost Forever, My Story of Survival,? reaches store shelves Tuesday.
Salcido is a survivor of Sonoma County?s most heinous crimes, a mass slaying on April 14, 1989.
A major publicity launch of the book will come next week to coincide with an Oct. 16 airing of an hour-long ABC 20/20 news show of her story.
Carmina Salcido?s father, Ramon Salcido, is a death-row inmate at San Quentin, convicted of killing seven people. Six of his dead were members of his family: two of his three pre-school daughters, his wife, his mother-in-law and two young sisters-in-law. He also shot and killed a man he worked with at Grand Cru Winery.
Carmina Salcido, 23, had her throat slit and one of her father?s winery supervisors was shot and wounded.
The nearly 300-page book, with several pages of photos, tells the story of Ramon Salcido?s descent into mass killer, his capture and trial. But it also describes Carmina Salcido?s difficult life afterward and her eventual return to Sonoma County and a hope for a better future.
She co-wrote the book with author Steve Jackson.
