Yvonne Sandoval's Riveting Memoir

This thrilling, true story chronicles Yvonne Sandoval's tumultuous journey from her childhood of abuse and gang violence in the Texas border town of El Paso, to massive business success in Austin, to a life-altering night stranded in a desolate Louisiana bayou.

In the fall of 2019, Yvonne Sandoval was enjoying a night out on Bourbon Street, until it ended in assault. Hours later, she found herself alone in a remote swampland where she spent a long, pitch black night trudging her way through an eerie landscape, trying to find a way out.

Though muggy and damp, the bayou presented hauntingly familiar encounters that reflected Yvonne’s experiences as a little girl in the dry heat of El Paso: murky predators at every turn, and no accessible routes to escape the hellish conditions. Yvonne’s path to saving herself was hidden in the most unexpected place.

Though My hope was small, its light was obvious in the pure Darkness that surrounded me in the bayou.
