WHAT'S IN EMERALD CITY

What's in Emerald City? The Power of the Heart is a gripping memoir of surviving trauma that reads like a Hollywood movie.  Yolanda Trevino's writing debut chronicles the painful tragedies of her life that began in her adolescence.  As she struggles with self-worth and validation into adulthood, she finds herself in abusive relationships and one would alter her life forever.  She is entrapped in a conspiracy and with billions of dollars at stake her life is used as collateral damage and left in ruins when she is convicted of a crime she didn't commit.  She is emotionally distraught and attempts to put the shattered pieces of her life together when heartbreak and tragedy strike again and send her into "the darkest days" of her life.  This time, her tragedy serves as the catalyst that changes everything around.

Yolanda goes through a spiritual awakening and with a renewed appreciation for life, she embarks on a journey of healing and self-discovery where she finds the courage, strength and determination to live a life filled with happiness and purpose.  She begins a process of self-love and validation that mends her broken spirit and heals her heart; which then opens a well of compassion and forgiveness and releases her from the chains of her past.
