Title: [Spanish] - No estoy roto: Memorias Author: Jesse Leon Narrator: Jesse León Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 12 minutes Release date: January 24, 2023 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: En este inspirador e inquebrantable libro de memorias, Jesse Leon cuenta su historia extraordinaria de resiliencia y supervivencia. Nos acerca a su niñez, devastada por el tráfico sexual, experiencias de calle y el abuso de sustancias. La niñez de Jesse fue destrozada de forma violenta. Nació en San Diego, en los años setenta, hijo de inmigrantes mexicanos e indígenas de la clase obrera. Cuando tenía once años, un encuentro en una tienda de regalos lo dejó con un secreto aterrador entre manos. Herido, con el apoyo de nadie y temiendo por su vida, Jesse se perdió en el mundo híper masculino de las calles de San Diego, donde silenció su dolor con lo que fuera que encontrara: alcohol, drogas y prostitución. Ignorado hasta por los sistemas de apoyo que ayudan a víctimas de abuso, y abandonado, como muchos otros latinos de clase baja, Jesse pasó años entre pensamientos suicidas y el abuso de sustancias. No estoy roto es la asombrosa y desgarradora historia del viaje que emprendió entonces para recuperar su vida, un viaje que lo llevó hasta la Universidad de Harvard. Jesse pasó de ser un joven de color que frecuentaba reuniones de Narcóticos Anónimos a aceptar su identidad sexual. Se convirtió en un apasionado mentor para jóvenes encarcelados y encontró la voluntad para vivir con apoyo de su familia, amigos y mentores. En este libro, a la par que recuerda las extraordinarias circunstancias de su vida, Jesse brinda una poderosa y cruda evidencia de que la autotransformación y autoaceptación son posibles. No estoy roto es el nspirador retrato de la fuerza indomable y el espíritu luchador de un joven que sobrevivió, contra todos los pronósticos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In this unflinching and inspiring memoir, Jesse Leon tells an extraordinary story of resilience and survival. He shines a light on his childhood, one devastated by sex trafficking, street life, and substance abuse. Born to indigenous working-class Mexican immigrants in San Diego in the 1970s, Jesse Leon’s childhood was violently ruptured. A dangerous and harrowing encounter at a local gift shop when he was eleven years old left Jesse with a deadly secret. Hurt, alone, and scared for his life, Jesse numbed his pain by losing himself in the hyper-masculine culture of the streets and wherever else he could find it —in alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. Overlooked by state-sanctioned institutions and systems intended to help victims of abuse, neglected like many other low-income Latinos, Jesse spiraled into cycles of suicide and substance abuse. I’m Not Broken is the heartbreaking and remarkable story of the journey Jesse takes to win back his life, leading him to the steps of Harvard University. From being the lone young person of color in Narcotics Anonymous meetings to coming to terms with his own sexual identity, to becoming an engaged mentor for incarcerated youth, Jesse finds the will to live with the love and support of his family, friends, and mentors. Recounting the extraordinary circumstances of his life, Jesse offers a powerful, raw testament to the possibilities of self-transformation and self-acceptance. Unforgettable, I’m Not Broken is an inspirational portrait of one young man’s indomitable strength and spirit to survive—against all possible odds.
