Ramon Sosa's memoir I Walked on My Own Grave recounts in vivid detail the unbelievable events that led to his wife plotting to have him killed. The boxer turned businessman and motivational speaker faked his own death (complete with pictures from the grave) to take back his life and return to his family. While the story of a murder-for-hire plot is intriguing to any reader, Sosa's main goal is not to entertain but to help others see the warning signs they may be ignoring. In hindsight, Sosa realized that his shame and embarrassment and his desire to save both his marriage and his image prevented him from getting away from his abusive wife before it was almost too late. I Walked on My Own Grave delves deep into the meaning of love, the importance, and fragility, of relationships, and a person's innate will to survive even under the most challenging situations, along with offering lessons and ideas for regaining a better life.
