Autorenporträt
Yvonne York Swain is a graduate of the University of Denver. A native Coloradoan, Yvonne blames her writing interest on her amazing teachers at Denver South High School where her teachers encouraged her to continue to pursue her love of poetry. Exposed to the works of Maya Angelou, Terry McMillan and Alice Walker Mrs. Swain claims that she walked into the library and asked for books written by Women of Color. Mrs. Swain is currently married to retired Army Staff Sergeant Clarence Swain who encouraged her to complete her book by saying, "I will read it when you are done." He referred by her as "My Hero". Mrs. Swain states that he not only protected her but honored her vision of completing this book. Yvonne was born in Pueblo, Colorado in 1964. She was the result of what family deemed as "an accidental" pregnancy and her parents were forced to marry even though they really didn't know each other. In her lifetime, Yvonne has survived abandonment, kidnapping, physical abuse, sexual abuse and codependency. This is the reason Yvonne was asked often by her Daughters to speak to their friends who were living in abusive homes. Knowing firsthand the child's side of observing abuse, Yvonne has been a leader/counselor for children in various capacities throughout her movement in the U.S. A proud member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated, Yvonne now lives in Texas and enjoys time with her Husband, three Daughters and their respective families.
