Sandra Lefort
At 50 years old, Sandra’s friend insisted she had the makings of a bestselling book.
“Not a chance,” Sandra replied, “I have too many friends who don’t know anything about my life. They’d run a mile if they did!”
Sandra always knew she had a compelling story. Her real-life love story, filled with tales of prostitution, unknowingly smuggling £7 million worth of cannabis from Morocco, drug running from Peru, an attempted murder, and a stint in a French prison, seemed like pure fiction. Yet, even the most creative novelist couldn’t have invented such a tale.
Now, over 30 years later, Sandra is ready to set the record straight and share her experiences.
This is Sandra’s story—one of love and heartache, sexual encounters and awakenings, betrayal, broken hearts, and dreams. It’s a book about a woman who relentlessly pursued adventure, regardless of the risks.
