Los anÌos de abuso sexual sufridos durante su infancia, la confusa exploracioÌn de su identidad y las cicatrices emocionales de un hogar disfunctional estaban acabando con su vida. AsiÌ, en medio de una sesioÌn de ayahuasca, entre cantos chamaÌnicos y visiones alucinadas, un mensaje le fue revelado: debiÌa ir a las montanÌas. Solo alliÌ, entre los prodigiosos brazos de la tierra, Silvia encontrariÌa la paz y la sanacioÌn que tanto necesitaba. AcompanÌada por un grupo de joÌvenes quienes, como ella, habiÌan sobrevivido al abuso sexual, la autora emprenderiÌa el viaje hasta la montanÌa maÌs alta del mundo: el Everest"--Back cover. "When Silvia's mother called her home to Peru, she knew something finally had to give. A Latinx hero in the elite macho tech world of Silicon Valley, privately, she was hanging by a thread. She was deep in the throes of alcoholism, hiding her sexuality from her family, and repressing the abuse she'd suffered as a child. Her visit to Peru would become a turning point in her life. Silvia started climbing. Something about the brute force required for the ascent-the restricted oxygen at altitude, the vast expanse of emptiness around her, the risk and spirit and sheer size of the mountains, the nearness of death-woke her up. And then, she took her biggest pain to the biggest mountain: Everest. "The Mother of the World," as it's known in Nepal, allows few to reach her summit, but Silvia didn't go alone. She gathered a group of young female survivors and led them to base camp alongside her, their strength and community propelling her forward. In the Shadow of the Mountain is a remarkable story of heroism, one which awakens in all of us a lust for adventure, gratitude for the strong women in our lives, and faith in our own resilience"--Provided by publisher. 650 4 $a Mountaineers $z United States $v Biography. 650 4 $a Hispanic Americans $v Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft. 650 4 $a Alpinistas $z Estados Unidos $v BiografiÌa. 650 4 $a Hispanoestadounidenses $v BiografiÌa. 650 4 $a AutobiografiÌas. 651 4 $a Mount Everest (China and Nepal) 651 4 $a Monte Everest (China y Nepal) 650 4 $a Spanish language materials. 650 4 $a Spanish language. 650 4 $a Materiales en espanÌol. 941 $a 1 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20240809020341.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=600EDD70561511EFB84930EA30ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
