I've been to Guatemala a number of times and immediately noticed this title. I had to read it. It was an authentic account of the people and land and the actual story was entertaining. I was impressed with the details about the regions and settings. My son's birth family is from Coban and when I started the book I just knew I'd have to buy it for him. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Five stars!
