In April 1983, Upland High School senior Anna Marie Bachoc was brutally murdered by her boyfriend, sending waves of shock and disbelief through the quiet city that had branded itself "the city of gracious living." 17 & Life is a meditation on her life, the life that might have been, and the loss that still haunts the community three decades on.
Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. Allen Callaci is a librarian, rock and roll singer, and heart transplant recipient. HEART LIKE A STARFISH is his account of that death-defying journey and the healing that follows for both himself and those around him. With illustrations by the author and beautiful cover art by Amy Maloof, this wonderfully chaotic tale is told in a non-linear style that manages to convey the frenetic events and emotions while still embracing the strength and care and security all around. A portion of the proceeds of the book will be donated to Cedars- Sinai Heart Research Institute where the procedure was performed.
