In May 1992, an ordinary afternoon on Long Island turned into a nightmare that captured the nation's attention. Mary Jo Buttafuoco was shot in the head by 17-year-old Amy Fisher, the teenage mistress of her husband, Joey Buttafuoco. The incident sparked a media frenzy, courtroom drama, and a story that seemed larger than life. But behind the headlines, behind the tabloid scandal, lies the real Mary Jo's story. I Am Mary Jo Buttafuoco: A True-Crime Story Of Survival, Betrayal, And Media Obsession takes readers on an intimate journey through trauma, betrayal, and survival.
