Hay vidas que transcurren en silencio, pero con el alma gritando por dentro.Durante años, la autora de este libro vivió atrapada entre dos mundos: el cotidiano, con sus rutinas, dolores y alegrías, y otro que no todos pueden ver, pero que para ella es tan real como respirar. Mi alma y yo no es una novela, ni un ensayo, ni unas memorias al uso. Es un testimonio honesto, intimo y valiente de una mujer que ha convivido desde niña con lo sobrenatural, con apariciones, con visiones, con la certeza de que la muerte no es el final, sino un regreso.A lo largo de estas paginas, nos abre su corazon sin miedo ni adornos: desde sus años en un internado religioso hasta su conexion con Jesus, sus visitas al otro lado, los mensajes que ha recibido de seres fallecidos y su mision silenciosa de acompañar a las almas en su transicion hacia la eternidad.Este libro es para quien alguna vez ha sentido que hay algo mas. Para quien ha perdido a alguien y necesita creer que ese vinculo sigue vivo. Para quien busca consuelo, fe, o simplemente quiere leer una historia real, contada desde la piel y no desde la teoria.No encontraras respuestas faciles, pero si una certeza: el amor verdadero no muere, solo cambia de plano.

"Entonces hubo una batalla en el cielo. Miguel y sus ángeles lucharon contra el dragón. El dragón y sus ángeles lucharon, pero no prevalecieron y ya no había lugar para ellos en el cielo. El gran dragon fue entonces derribado, la serpiente antigua, llamada el diablo o Satanas, el seductor del mundo entero; fue arrojado a la tierra y sus angeles con el.Entonces escuche una voz fuerte en el cielo que decia: Ahora ha llegado la salvacion, el poder y el reino de nuestro Dios, asi como la autoridad de su Cristo, porque el acusador de nuestros hermanos ha sido expulsado, el que los acuso dia y noche ante nuestro Dios. Y lo vencieron por la sangre del cordero y por la palabra de su testimonio, porque despreciaban la vida misma hasta la muerte. Por lo tanto, ¡regocijense, oh cielos, y todos ustedes que habitan en el! Ay de la tierra y el mar, porque el diablo ha bajado a ti, lleno de gran ira, sabiendo que le queda poco tiempo.

An intimate history of LGBTQ+ life over four decades, discovered in a stash of forgotten, handwritten notes.A fantastic journey through an overlooked archive bursting with humanity and real life on every page.DAN SNOWAmong the most vivid social histories Ive read about contemporary queer life in Britain.OISIN MCKENNA, author of Evenings and WeekendsIn opening the Switchboard archive, and all the vulnerability and thrill contained within its pages, this book manages to capture something of the essence of what it means to be alive.AMELIA ABRAHAM, author of Queer IntentionsIn a crawlspace at the offices of Switchboard, a queer helpline in operation since 1974, lies dozens of log books kept by volunteers describing the phone calls they had taken: a teenager whose parents had kicked them out of home for dressing as the wrong gender; a lesbian terrified of having her baby taken away from her; a man arrested for chatting up another man in a public toilet; a young person wanting to know how to come out.These logs were traces of tens of thousands of queer lives, a bridge to a past hidden from people like Tash Walker and Adam Zmith in their youth, captured by people who lent an ear to those in need. Walker and Zmith came of age in the time of Section 28, a law which banned councils and schools promoting the teaching of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship. In recovering these logs, they encountered people grappling with feelings, questions and problems both familiar and different, and set out to learn from - and sometimes speak to - those on both sides of the calls.Charged with joy, gossip, sensuality, humour and sometimes fear, and with a potent relevancy to the world today, these stories are brought together in The Log Books. Walker and Zmith capture queer lives in stunning detail, embarking on a journey of both collective history and self-discovery and propelling it into the very foreground of our national history.One of the most intimate portrayals of LGBTQ+ history as youre going to get . . . moving and informative in equal parts.HUNGER Magazine
