About this ebook
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.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not sure if I should give it 3 or 4 stars. The story is shocking and very interesting. The writing is sometimes not that good though. It was so shocking to read what her father did to her and the rest of her families. I had never heard of this case before. Sad that she ended up being adopted by another very religious family. (Wondering, can't she sue them over spending her money?That was hers!)I am glad I was finally able to read this book, thanks to the library.
I do think this book would have probably been better if I could have read it in the original language. Did not like the translation and did discover quite a few errors, so yes, it does deserve 4 stars.
