NEW YORK - s4story -- From a childhood marked by abuse, neglect, and hardship to the hard-won realization of resilience, Hery Acosta's story is one of survival in the face of unthinkable challenges.

Beginning with his family's immigration to the United States as part of the 1980 Mariel Boatlift, Acosta's life was fraught with instability, violence, and suffering. Raised in poverty, Hery faced unimaginable abuse, first at the hands of family members and later in foster care and on the streets. His story is a raw and authentic portrayal of survival, touching on trauma, identity, and redemption themes.

Through Eddie in the Rough, Acosta reveals the impact of generational abuse, the broken foster care system, and the emotional toll of growing up amidst gang violence, drugs, and homelessness. But more importantly, his memoir is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the will to overcome adversity. With raw emotion and a gripping narrative, this book sheds light on the painful realities that many survivors face while offering hope that healing is possible.
