Writer Mikal Gilmore is his younger brother. In Shot in the Heart, he tells the stunning story of their wildly dysfunctional family: their mother, a blacksheep daughter of unforgiving Mormon farmers; their father, a drunk, thief, and con man. It was a family destroyed by a multigenerational history of child abuse, alcoholism, crime, adultery, and murder. Mikal, burdened with the guilt of being his father's favorite and the shame of being Gary's brother, gracefully and painfully relates a murder tale from inside the house where murder is born... a house that, in some ways, [he has] never been able to leave.\" Shot in the Heart is the history of an American family inextricably tied up with violence, and the story of how the children of this family committed murder and murdered themselves in payment for a long lineage of ruin. Haunting, harrowing, and profoundly affecting, \"Shot in the Heart exposes and explores a dark vein of American life that most of us would rather ignore. It is a book that will leave no reader unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMICHIO KAKU is a professor of physics at the City University of New York, cofounder of string field theory, and the author of several widely acclaimed science books, including \u003ci\u003eHyperspace, Beyond Einstein, Physics of the Impossible, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003ePhysics of the Future. \u003c\/i\u003eHe is the science correspondent for CBS's This Morning and host of the radio programs \u003ci\u003eScience Fantastic\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eExplorations in Science.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJENNIFER TRAINER THOMPSON is a writer and the coeditor with Michio Kaku of \u003ci\u003eNuclear Power: Both Sides\u003c\/i\u003e, which \u003ci\u003eThe Christian Science Monitor\u003c\/i\u003e selected as one of the best books of 1982.
