"Your Life" is a motivational text that embraces the reader with a language close to the heart, written in the style of daily reflections or a friendly conversation in a gathering of warmth and affection. It does not introduce you to yourself through a traditional approach, but rather in an honest way, as if the author were sitting beside you, gently whispering: Live your experience with passion, for you deserve the best."
Following the Pinochet coup, which overthrew President Salvador Allende, thousands of Chilean families emigrated to escape the new regime, including the Lucho family, who headed to Germany.
For his parents, time stopped the moment he left Chile, waiting for the moment of return, and the world was divided into two parts: the lost homeland, and the remaining countries, and like an entire generation that refuses to accept what happened, they sank into (ghettos) of sadness; Europe was offering them lungs of freedom, but it was also inflicting on them the pain of distance.
As for Lucho, Germany was a different country full of what was worth living: he had daily challenges in the street and school to live, new cultures to discover, friendships, enmities, quarrels, and the first heartbeats he had to experience; All this without forgetting his inherited duty towards his motherland.
About the obsessions of asylum, failures, dreams, and disappointments, Scarmetta leaves his teenage hero to tell his story, presenting us with a charming model of friendship, companionship, and the struggle for justice.

And now, with the storm of change reaching its climax, the ship of my life has tilted and deviated from its course. I have lost control of its rudder and sails amidst the vortex of daily routine, which our opposing circumstances wanted to come between me and my husband, Harib, most of the time. Each of us has the features of his day that are different from the other, and after my dreams were painting in my imagination a picture of complete compatibility. We have day and night, but the winds rarely bring what the ships desire.
