My Nine Lives is the colorful life story of Roy Sannella--a survivor of the second attack on Pearl Harbor, several natural disasters, encounters with gangsters, and other escapades that arose during his forty-seven moves around the world.

Nicknamed Scarface and Capone by grade-school classmates after he injured his right cheek as a child, author Roy Sannella shares his around-the-world adventures in vivid detail--from carrying bodies out of the ruins of Boston's Coconut Grove fire in 1942 and experiencing the violent escapades of the Huks in the Philippines, as told to him by the American Ambassador, to surviving an arrest by the Moroccan police and recruiting Louie Armstrong to play one memorable morning in his nightclub. Sannella has many treasured personal memories of his encounters with hundreds of renowned celebrities and politicians, including Frank Sinatra, Omar Sharif, Sammy Davis Jr., Pope Pius XII, Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly.
