Por primera vez la hija de Diana Turbay revela detalles de una historia que partió su vida en dos: el asesinato de su madre en una de las épocas más violentas de la historia reciente de Colombia
María Carolina Hoyos Turbay tenía 18 años cuando se enteró por la radio de la operación autorizada por el entonces presidente César Gaviria para intentar liberar a su mamá, secuestrada por Pablo Escobar. Horas después, luego de un rescate fallido y frente al cuerpo sin vida de Diana Turbay, su hija le prometió que nunca más volvería a sonreír. Tuvieron que pasar muchos años, muchas lágrimas y mucho dolor para que María Carolina decidiera incumplir esa promesa, retomar su vida e intentar ser feliz.
Esta es la historia de cómo una mujer colombiana, una hija a quien el narcotráfico le arrebató a su madre, decidió perdonar. Pero también podría ser la historia de aquellos que un día pensaron que jamás se recuperarían de una enfermedad, un divorcio o una crisis económica. Este testimonio confirma que, a pesar de las situaciones más adversas, es posible salir a flote y volver a sonreír.
'Me asombra gratamente una combinación que aflora en todos los párrafos de este libro: la naturalidad de periodismo auténtico con que la autora describe sus emociones más íntimas y sus pesares más entrañables. Solo una persona que tenga el corazón en paz puede traducir así los rincones de su propia alma, con sencillez y maestría al mismo tiempo'.
-Tomado del prólogo de Juan Gossaín
Desde las cenizas se desarrolla en un universo pequeño, engañosamente simple, de personajes identificables y comunes.
Sin embargo, Claudia Amengual los vuelve únicos.
Un día Diana ingresa, accidentalmente, en el correo electrónico de un hombre al que no conoce pero con el que inicia un juego mediático, anónimo y audaz, que les concede a ambos la cuota de seducción que les estaba faltando.
Y así, lo que empieza como una travesura deviene una necesidad: los mensajes son un remedio para Diana, una ilusión que le cubre los días vacíos, y la llena de expectativas.
