by Silvia Vásquez-Lavado (Author)

Silvia Vásquez-Lavado es una guerrera. Su voz increíblemente cálida revela cómo floreció desde los momentos más oscuros de su vida para convertirse en una inspiración y una defensora de los demás. Este libro es un testimonio del extraordinario del poder de la vulnerabilidad, la empatía y la generosidad. Estoy asombrada por la fuerza y coraje que ha capturado tan bellamente en estas memorias . Selena Gómez


Sumida en una depresión profunda y en una espiral autodestructiva de alcoholismo y sexo desmedido, Silvia decide volver a casa, dispuesta a enfrentarse a sus sombras más oscuras. Los años de abuso sexual sufridos durante su infancia, la confusa búsqueda de su propia identidad y las cicatrices emocionales de un hogar disfuncional estaban acabando con su vida. Así, en medio de una sesión de ayahuasca, entre cantos chamánicos y visiones alucinadas, un mensaje le fue revelado: debía ir a las montañas. Solo allí, entre los prodigiosos brazos de la tierra, encontraría la paz y la sanación que tanto necesitaba. Pero no iría sola. Acompañada por un grupo de jóvenes supervivientes, como ella, de abuso sexual, emprenderá el viaje hasta la montaña más alta del mundo: Sagarmatha, Chomolungma, Everest, la Madre del Universo.


El abrazo de la montaña es un testimonio inspirador de valentía, resiliencia y sanación. Son las apasionantes memorias de una mujer extraordinaria que no se rindió ante el dolor, sino que lo tomó con humildad y lo llevó con ella hasta la cima del mundo.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


"Silvia Vásquez-Lavado is a warrior. Her incredibly warm voice reveals how she blossomed from the darkest moments of her life to become an inspiration and an advocate for others. This book is a testament to the extraordinary power of vulnerability, empathy, and generosity. I am in awe of the strength and courage she has captured so beautifully in this memoir." Selena Gomez


Endless ice. Thin air. The threat of dropping into nothingness thousands of feet below. This is the climb Silvia Vásquez-Lavado braves in her page-turning, pulse-raising memoir chronicling her journey to Mount Everest. A Latina hero in the elite macho tech world of Silicon Valley, privately, she was hanging by a thread. Deep in the throes of alcoholism, hiding her sexuality from her family, and repressing the abuse she'd suffered as a child, she started climbing. She gathered a group of young female survivors and led them to base camp alongside her, all the while coping with her own nerves of summiting. But there were also moments of peace, joy, and healing with the strength of her fellow survivors and community propelling her forward.


A remarkable story of heroism, one which awakens in all of us a lust for adventure, an appetite for risk, and faith in our own resilience.
