DISCOVERING DOMINGA
by Patricia Flynn and Mary Jo McConahay
When Iowa housewife Denese Becker returns to the Guatemalan village where she was born, she begins a journey towards finding her roots, but one filled with harrowing revelations. Denese, born Dominga, was nine when she became her family's sole survivor of a massacre of Mayan peasants. Two years later, she was adopted by an American family. Denese's journey home is a voyage of self-discovery and a political awakening.
