Editorial Reviews

Review

"Una historia repleta de integridad, valor y humanidad: todas las cosas que representa Rivers."

-- Andy García

"Cautivante, poderoso y conmovedor...[este] auténtico relato de cómo un niño fue criado por una aldea de individuos tiernos y valerosos...nos inspira a todos...Magistralmente escrito."

-- Melanie Griffith y Antonio Banderas

"La contribución de Víctor al movimiento para erradicar la violencia doméstica es inigualable...Él es un ejemplo para los hombres y un rayo de esperanza para todas las víctimas de abusos."

-- Lynn Rosenthal, directora ejecutiva de la National Network to End Domestic Violenc

"I know the terror, dread, bruises, inescapability, and madness of [Victor Rivas Rivers's] violent childhood. It was my childhood. Now, I know Victor...brave, honest, brilliant and good. This book...urges every one of us to break the deadening and debilitating silence by telling our stories."

-- Eve Ensler, Obie Award-winning author of The Vagina Monologues

"A story filled with integrity, courage, and humanity -- all the things that exemplify Mr. Rivers. The journey makes the man. Thank you forsharing this with us."

-- Andy Garcia



Product Description

Éste es un relato acerca de cómo el amor me salvó, en un momento en que la mayoría de la gente me daba por perdido.

Así comienza Víctor Rivas Rivers esta magnífica crónica en que narra su fuga desde la zona de guerra de la violencia doméstica -- considerada con demasiada frecuencia como "un asunto de familia" -- y su trayectoria hacia la independencia, la recuperación y la renovación.

En Asunto de familia, Víctor recuerda su época de joven iracundo que vivía bajo la tiranía y la cólera de su padre. El tempestuoso temperamento de su padre, Antonio Rivas García Rubio, a quien por su carácter apodaban El Ciclón, no sólo lo llevó a golpear a su esposa, sino a maltratar -- y finalmente a secuestrar -- a sus propios hijos. La manera en que Víctor logró obtener ayuda para su familia y una sanción legal contra su padre, así como sobreponerse a sus propios demonios, aprender a amarse a sí mismo y llegar a compartir su experiencia con otras víctimas y sobrevivientes de la violencia doméstica, constituye la esencia de esta obra profunda y conmovedora.

I loved reading this book. The story is moving. Despite the abused Rivas suffered he became a decent and productive man.
