Description
In the remote hills of Guatemala, hope is not a familiar word. Rodrigo, Kristal, and Javier live in a one-room shanty with dirt floors, bamboo walls, and a rusty tin roof that leaks. At twelve, Rodrigo dreams of going to school but must work in the fields every day to help the family make a meager living. By striking a deal with his sick Mamá, Rodrigo goes to school but when tragedy strikes the family, Rodrigo's dreams are suddenly shattered. Meanwhile, a mission team from the US travels to Guatemala to build houses. Next door to their shanty, Rodrigo, Kristal, and Javier watch as volunteers hammer every nail and cut each board, delivering hope to another family. First-time missionary Mandi is obsessed with the buzz of corporate life, but in Guatemala she encounters a peace she's never felt. Mandi notices the young onlookers and her world turns upside down. It's no longer about her doing a good deed. In fact, it's not about her at all. Find out how, despite their differences they discover that with God, no matter where they are, hope lives here. - from Amzon
