¡Hola amigos lectores! Hoy les traigo la reseña sobre un libro de relatos personales de la escritora Melisa Harris llamado Bajo cada huella.
Hello, readers! Today I bring you a review of a book of personal stories by writer Melisa Harris called Bajo cada huella (Under Every Footprint).
En este libro nos encontramos con 14 relatos de la vida personal de la autora que busca exteriorizar sus vivencias y, en este camino de sanación, ayuda a quienes hayan pasado por experiencias similares a que se puede seguir adelante.
In this book, we find 14 stories from the author's personal life as she seeks to express her experiences and, on this path to healing, help those who have gone through similar experiences to move forward.
Es un libro super corto que se lee en una sentada, pero algunos de sus relatos son bastante sentidos y creo que es fácil empatizar y sentirse identificado con sus vivencias. Eso sÃ, tampoco ahonda tanto en sus emociones de ese entonces, sino que sentà que se queda en lo superficial para contarnos su historia de alguna manera despersonalizada.
It's a very short book that can be read in one sitting, but some of the stories are quite heartfelt, and I think it's easy to empathize and identify with his experiences. That said, he doesn't delve too deeply into his emotions at the time; rather, I felt that he remained superficial in order to tell his story in a somewhat depersonalized way.
Estos relatos tocan temas como la fuerza de voluntad, el amor propio, la resiliencia y la superación de obstáculos. También nos habla de las adicciones, enfermedades y amores tóxicos. Es un conjunto de experiencias que tuvo que atravesar la escritora para convertirse en la persona que es hoy.
These stories touch on themes such as willpower, self-esteem, resilience, and overcoming obstacles. They also address addiction, illness, and toxic relationships. They are a collection of experiences that the author had to go through to become the person she is today.
En algún punto sentà que estaba leyendo el diario Ãntimo de alguien por la cercanÃa a la hora de contar sus vivencias, sin embargo, creo que es una linda manera de poder sacar todo aquello que tenemos guardado y después de todo, escribir en Hive también puede ser muy personal y cumplir la misma función de ser nuestro diario Ãntimo cuando necesitamos hacer alguna catarsis o hablar de temas más profundos y complejos que nos rondan por la mente.
At some point, I felt like I was reading someone's private diary because of how intimate the stories were. However, I think it's a nice way to get everything we've been holding inside out, and after all, writing on Hive can also be very personal and serve the same purpose as our private diary when we need to catharsis or talk about deeper and more complex issues that are on our minds.
En definitiva, no hay mucho más que pueda contarles de él, es un libro que se lee rápido, está escrito de una manera ligera y es fácil empatizar con la escritora. Asà que si les llama la atención algo de lo que les dije, este libro es ideal para ustedes.
In short, there isn't much more I can tell you about it. It's a quick read, written in a lighthearted style, and it's easy to empathize with the author. So if anything I've said catches your attention, this book is perfect for you.

Hi! I wasn't familiar with this book or the author, but I'm intrigued by what you said about it feeling like reading a personal diary. Sometimes those short books you can read in one sitting are just what you need to disconnect for a while and reflect. Your point about it remaining somewhat superficial is interesting; I suppose that because they are such personal experiences, it's sometimes difficult for the author to be 100% open, even though the intention to heal is there.
Lately I've been reading independent authors from my country and I've found some interesting ones. This one has that duality, but it's good. Thanks for stopping by!
