What readers are saying.
"Few times has a book left me so moved. 'De quién es la culpa' (Whose Fault Is It?) is not an easy read, but it is one of the most necessary I've undertaken in a long time. First, an important clarification: do not approach this book expecting a traditional fictional novel. What Yamisleidis Segura Tamayo gives us is something much more intimate and powerful: a testimonial account, a wound narrated with a disarming honesty. It is the story of Leidis, a girl growing up in rural Cuba, where the most extreme poverty is merely the backdrop for the miseries and abandonment she suffers in silence. The author takes us by the hand into that childhood with simple, unadorned language that goes straight to the heart. It is a raw and harrowing journey, at times difficult to read because of its truthfulness, but that is precisely where its immense power lies. Yes, it is a story that can bring you to tears, as it did me. The most courageous thing about this book is its ending. Do not expect a fairytale conclusion. The true triumph, the 'happy ending,' is the act of writing itself. It is the author fulfilling the promise she made to herself as a child to tell her story, to finally free herself from a guilt that never belonged to her. It is an ending that seeks not happiness, but peace. Who is this book for? For anyone who values bravery. For women seeking the strength to raise their own voice. For mothers who want to understand the importance of protecting. And for anyone who believes in the power of stories to heal the deepest wounds. It takes tremendous courage to open one's soul in this way. Read it. It will change you."

From the fields of Cuba to healing through the word.
Raised in the humility of the Cuban countryside, she found refuge in nature and, in words, a way to make sense of pain and adversity. Her life, marked by challenges that, instead of breaking her, forged an honest and resilient voice, has become the raw material for her work.
Yamisleidis doesn't just write stories; she shares testimonies. Her books are an act of courage that seeks to connect with readers of deep feelings, those who understand that true strength is found in vulnerability. Her goal is for her voice to serve as an echo for other women and as a reminder to protect innocence.
She invites you to explore her books, where each page is another step on the path to healing and liberation. In her universe, stories are first endured, then written... and finally, they heal.
