Yoga Mama's Buddha Sandals: Mayans, Zapatistas, and Silly Little White Girls - Softcover

A gritty, grimy adventure memoir about friendship and crumbling walls. On her own at the age of 16, she's survived homelessness, poverty, and predators who look for young women in those situations. She thinks she's ready for anything. Until she finds herself alone, in the Lacandona jungle of Chiapas, with no pesos, no ability to speak Spanish, in the middle of a longstanding revolution, and suddenly forced to trust people she'd been told all her life she couldn't. Walk in Donna Stewart's Yoga Mama Buddha Sandals, and you'll stumble upon Mayan ruins, Zapatistas and really big spiders. You'll come face to face with history and legend, kidnappers and temptation, friendship and heroism. You will cringe at her mistakes, but cheer her bravery. And you'll probably chuckle more than once. Adventure, humor, history and a little transformation. This is a walk worth taking. "An enlightening journey of character and heart." Terry Bacon, author of Winning Behavior. "Ms. Stewart writes with passion and the eyes-wide wonder of a child experiencing the world for the first time." Billy Wilson, Musician, Master of Reality "Stewart is a terrific story teller and writes with beautiful authenticity." Kate Siber, Outside Magazine "Like all good travel writing, the inner journey is as important as the external one, and Ms. Stewart doesn't hold back!" Terry Hobbs, author of Healed.
