Shot in the Heart Author's soundtrack
Summary: "'I am the brother of a man who murdered innocent men. His name was Gary Gilmore, and he would end up as one of modern America's more epochal criminal figures. After the killings and Gary's death sentence, I felt grief and anger, and deep and painful humiliation. I told myself for years I didn't love Gary anymore. And I believe he told himself the same thing about me. And then, in that last week, when we began to find each other, we both recognized all the love we had let go to waste and that we were both now about to lose, within hours, for eternity.'

Mikal Gilmore, author of 'Shot in the Heart'

"So writes Mikal Gilmore about the relationship he discovered between himself and his brother Gary Gilmore in the final days before Gary's execution in January 1977.

"Shot in the Heart is the story of a man coming to terms with the sins and secrets of his notorious brother and, in the process, exploring the legacy of violence in his own family. Based on the acclaimed nonfiction book by Mikal Gilmore, Shot in the Heart, focuses on the convicted murderer's campaign for his own execution and the attempts of his family to understand his decision."--2001 Peabody Awards entry form.
