Descriere: 6,De pie frente al p?blico, Victor Villase?or mir? al grupo de maestros sentados frente a ?l, y su mente se llen? de recuerdos de infancia llenos de humillaci?n y abuso por parte de sus profesores. Se sinti? enfurecer. Con el coraz?n en la mano, comenz? a hablar de esos abusos. Y cuando termin?, para su gran sorpresa, encontr? a todos los profesores de pie aplau-di?ndolo enf?ticamente. Muchas de las personas en el p?blico no lograban contener sus l?grimas. As? comienzan las conmovedoras y apasionadas memorias de Victor Villase?or. A pesar de ser muy talentoso e imaginativo desde muy ni?o, tuvo que vivir con una dificultad de aprendizaje (no fue sino hasta los 44 a?os de edad que fue diagnosticado con un caso grave de dislexia), y la frustraci?n de ser latino en una escuela americana en la que s?lo se hablaba ingl?s. A pesar de los profesores que lo maltrataban porque no pod?a hablar ingl?s, Villase?or se aferr? a su sue?o de un d?a convertirse en escritor. Hoy en d?a, es considerado uno de los autores m?s importantes de nuestra era.

Don't Ask Me about My Dad: An Inspiring True Story of a Scared Little Boy with a Dark Secret
Growing up with him was like being in my own war zone, living in perpetual fear of when the bombs would fall. I was terrified of becoming him, and in moments I could feel I might. He still lives within me grimly like some battered demon spright. And I'm fearful of his shadow. The rage, and his blood. There are some moments when he arrives and I want to tear up the whole world with my bare hands, and all I really want is love. I want him away now. Please. Just go. While growing up in Essex, Tom Mitchelson and his identical triplet sisters routinely witnessed unspeakable acts of violence and abuse at the hands of their dad. They would watch in horror as he dragged their mum around the house, but they never dared breathe a word. Tom knew his dad was a monster, but it seemed he had nowhere to turn until a kindly teacher sought his company... Don't Ask Me About My Dad is an inspirational story of how one isolated young boy overcame the odds and finally found his voice.
