Beskrivelse af Glimmer
Foreword by Cameron DiazA raw and heartening memoir of one woman's journey from surviving childhood sexual abuse to becoming one of the most successful stuntwomen in Hollywood.?Reading Kimberly Shannon Murphy's searing and vividly told memoir is like watching a gripping work of cinema verité: each scene demands our attention as the plot moves towards its dramatic conclusion. A powerful and inspiring story of suffering and shame, resilience and redemption.??Gabor Maté M.D., New York Times bestselling author of The Myth of Normal?Piece by piece, the on-site medic tweezes the shards of candy glass from my face. I don't mind the stinging. I don't flinch.?As an award-winning stuntwoman, Kimberly Shannon Murphy was intimate with pain. For years, she propelled her body through dangerous spaces?medicating the trauma of her childhood sexual abuse with the adrenaline rush that came from pushing herself to the absolute limit. But as Kimberly learned, no matter how much you suppress your past, it always catches up with you.In Glimmer, Kimberly details her remarkable journey to the top of her field as a Hollywood stuntwoman for many A-list celebrities, including Cameron Diaz, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, Taylor Swift, and Sandra Bullock, while carrying the pain of her childhood of sexual abuse in a family that refused to acknowledge its reality. In her beautifully written, unflinchingly honest memoir, Kimberly reflects on her past and present, chronicling her path to recovery and calculating the long shadow of trauma.Glimmer is the story of one woman's quest to reclaim her life and to shine a spotlight on the dark topic of intergenerational familial abuse. As Kimberly reveals, being strong isn't about getting your black belt, leaping out of four-story buildings, or putting 200-pound stuntmen in chokeholds?it's about waking up every single morning and choosing to love yourself, no matter your history.A heroic and hopeful story of stolen innocence, pain, courage, and survival, Glimmer is an emotional roadmap for others who have suffered abuse and childhood trauma, offering them hope, healing, and inspiration.
