Journey of Dreams
by Marge PellegrinoFor the peaceful highlanders of Guatemala, life has become a nightmare. Helicopters slash like machetes through the once-quiet air. Soldiers patrol the streets, hunting down suspected guerrillas. Villagers mysteriously disappear and children are recruited as soldiers. Tomasa's family is growing increasingly desperate, especially after Mama goes into hiding with Tomasa's oldest brother. Finally, after their house is razed to the ground and the villagers massacred, Tomasa, Manuelito, and baby Maria set off with Papa on a perilous journey to find Mama and Carlos, only to discover that where one journey ends, another begins. This gripping novel tells the story of how Tomasa's family survives the Guatemalan army's brutal regime and how, in the midst of tragedy, their love and loyalty -- and Papa's storytelling -- keeps them going on their harrowing journey as refugees to the United States. Mirrored in the tapestries of Tomasa's dreams, the dramatic events of the Guatemalan army's "scorched earth" campaign of the 1980s are tempered with hope and the generosity of the human spirit.
