Publisher's Synopsis
Accident or fate? A girl named Quetzal Maya Fisher is born in Guatemala at a Christian mission, and adopted by an American couple. Although raised in Michigan--far from her humble beginnings--she carries within her clues that connect her to the past like invisible threads. As an adult these threads pull her back to the small village of Canoguitas where she was born, and to the missionary family who arranged her adoption. The story of Quetzal is intertwined with that of Tommy Tuttle, a flawed missionary who oversees an international adoption program in Guatemala. Tommy's adoption activities result in his arrest and imprisonment when he is engulfed in a scandal that echoes far beyond the borders of Guatemala--the Land of Eternal Spring. Finding Quetzal is the story of one woman's journey of discovery as she seeks answers to the questions that haunt us all: Who am I... How did I come to be... and Where do I go from here? Finding the answers is never simple, but always worth the effort. In the end Quetzal discovers we are all more than we appear to be, and so much more than we think we are.
