Married for 30 years with two teenage daughters, Cheryl and Rob Cuccio might seem like a regular couple. With the release of their book Incest, Murder and Miracle, the couple has revealed the dark past that they miraculously and bravely came out of with the support of each other.

Cheryl was regularly sexually abused by her father, who only got more violent if the then 15-year-old resisted his attempts. Her boyfriend (now her husband) paid the high school “hitman” to kill the father. Cheryl said she felt truly safe once her dad was dead, but Rob took the righteous route and came clean with the investigators. When Cheryl was out of jail, she and Rob got married. They hope that their new book will help sexual abuse victims come out of their situations. The hitman currently runs a program imparting life skills and education to inmates.
