Finalmente soy yo
Las líneas de este libro son de luz. El esplendor de la luz solo se aprecia y se sabe utilizar en la más profunda oscuridad. Tengo cincuenta y ocho años y buena parte de mis días han sido de penumbra. Pero uno, un día en particular, trajo consigo una noche oscurísima. Era tal su oscuridad, que del cielo la noche pasó a mi alma y me obligó a ver la luz y a utilizarla para contemplar lo esencial. Para descubrirme y darle sentido a mis penumbras, a los acontecimientos de mi historia, a la carrera frenética y ambiciosa de mi vida en casa, en la oficina, en todas partes. La oscuridad produjo en mí una emoción tan intensa que lloré como nunca lo había hecho, las lágrimas ablandaron mi coraza y salvaron mi corazón, que dejó de estar a la defensiva para reconciliarse con aquellos a quienes creía que rechazaba, pero que en verdad amaba. Ahora, desde la calma que sigue a la tormenta, desde la luz que sigue a la noche oscura, cuento mi historia con alegría. Desde mi madre hasta mi hija. Desde el desencuentro hasta el amor. Cuento la historia de una mujer rígida que finalmente ha empezado a moverse con soltura, que aprende todos los días a salir de sí misma para darse sin reservas. Que poco a poco consigue donar en vez de acumular, dialogar más que imponer, escuchar en lugar de hablar, vivir y dejar vivir sin controlar. Lo que mi historia cuenta es que sí pude convertir en luz la más profunda oscuridad. Sí pude encontrar un camino distinto al habitual, y ser feliz con lo que tengo y con lo que soy, aunque a veces me parecía imposible. Sí he podido ser finalmente. Gemma Díez Rodríguez (San Sebastián, 1964) es asesora fiscal de profesión, coach por vocación, y corredora de maratones por pasión y se le da muy bien el arte de la construcción. Le apasionan tres cosas en la vida: trabajar, por ella y por su familia; viajar por España —en bus, en avión y hasta corriendo— y amar a las personas en cuanto tales y no por su sexo. Se enorgullece de todo aquello que ha conseguido hasta ahora, de manos de otras personas y con las suyas. Hoy está llena de luz y, con suma humildad, desea iluminar con su experiencia la oscuridad de otros.
Frankly in Love
An Instant New York Times Bestseller • A William C. Morris YA Debut Award Finalist • An Asian Pacific American Librarians Association Honor Book “Extraordinary . . . a beautifully layered novel about first love, tribalism and that brief, magical period when kids have one foot in high school, one foot out the door. . . Yoon explores themes of racism, forgiveness and acceptance without getting earnest or preachy or letting anyone off the hook.” —New York Times Two friends. One fake dating scheme. What could possibly go wrong? Frank Li has two names. There's Frank Li, his American name. Then there's Sung-Min Li, his Korean name. No one uses his Korean name, not even his parents. Frank barely speaks any Korean. He was born and raised in Southern California. Even so, his parents still expect him to end up with a nice Korean girl--which is a problem, since Frank is finally dating the girl of his dreams: Brit Means. Brit, who is funny and nerdy just like him. Brit, who makes him laugh like no one else. Brit . . . who is white. As Frank falls in love for the very first time, he's forced to confront the fact that while his parents sacrificed everything to raise him in the land of opportunity, their traditional expectations don't leave a lot of room for him to be a regular American teen. Desperate to be with Brit without his parents finding out, Frank turns to family friend Joy Song, who is in a similar bind. Together, they come up with a plan to help each other and keep their parents off their backs. Frank thinks he's found the solution to all his problems, but when life throws him a curveball, he's left wondering whether he ever really knew anything about love—or himself—at all. In this moving debut novel David Yoon takes on the question of who am I? with a result that is humorous, heartfelt, and ultimately unforgettable.
Dying to Be Me
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! "I had the choice to come back ... or not. I chose to return when I realized that 'heaven' is a state, not a place" In this truly inspirational memoir, Anita Moorjani relates how, after fighting cancer for almost four years, her body began shutting down—overwhelmed by the malignant cells spreading throughout her system. As her organs failed, she entered into an extraordinary near-death experience where she realized her inherent worth . . . and the actual cause of her disease. Upon regaining consciousness, Anita found that her condition had improved so rapidly that she was released from the hospital within weeks—without a trace of cancer in her body! Within this enhanced e-book, Anita recounts—in words and on video—stories of her childhood in Hong Kong, her challenge to establish her career and find true love, as well as how she eventually ended up in that hospital bed where she defied all medical knowledge. In "Dying to Be Me," Anita Freely shares all she has learned about illness, healing, fear, "being love," and the true magnificence of each and every human being!
