Sharon Stone

Abrí los ojos y ahí estaba él, por encima de mí, a unos pocos centímetros de mi cara. Un desconocido que me miraba con tanta amabilidad que estaba segura de que me iba a morir. Me acariciaba la cabeza, el pedo; Dios, que guapo era. Desee que fuera alguien que me amaba en lugar de alguien cuyas siguientes palabras seria: Te esta dando un derrame cerebral". Sharon Stone, una de las actrices mas reconocidas en todo el mundo, sufrio un ictus grave que le costo no solo su salud, sino tambien su carrera, su familia, su fortuna y su fama mundial. En "La belleza de vivir dos veces", Sharon Stone relata sus esfuerzos por reconstruir su vida y el lento y arduo camino que recorrio para recuperar la plenitud y la salud. En una industria que no acepta el fracaso, en un mundo en el que se silencian demasiadas voces, Stone encontro el poder para volver, el valor para alzar la voz, y el afan de marcar la diferencia en las vidas de mujeres y niños de todo el mundo. A lo largo de estas intimas paginas, tan sinceras como una conversacion personal, Stone nos habla de los papeles que marcaron un antes y un despues en su carrera, de las amistades que le cambiaron la vida, de sus peores decepciones y de sus mayores logros. Nos revela tambien como paso de una infancia de trauma y violencia a una industria que de muchas formas reflejaba esos mismos abusos, encubiertos por el dinero y el glamour. Describe la fuerza y el sentido que encontro en sus hijos y en sus esfuerzos humanitarios. Y finalmente, comparte como lucho para volver a encontrar no solo su verdad, el amor y la reconciliacion con su familia. Stone protagonizo titulares no solo por su belleza y talento, sino tambien por su absoluta sinceridad y por negarse a "comportarse", y son esas mismas cualidades las que confieren tanto poder a estas memorias. "La belleza de vivir dos veces" es un libro para personas heridas, y un libro para supervivientes; es una celebracion de la resiliencia y la fuerza de las mujeres, un ajuste de cuentas y una llamada al activismo. Es la prueba de que nunca es demasiado tarde para levantar la voz y para hacerte oir.
