Description
Amid revolution, lightning and mines, the author ran up a Guatemala volcano to meet Ana, who led guerrilla forces to stop the massacre of Mayans by her father's army. Decades after her death, he discovered Ana lives on within Maya hearts revolutionized by the same two words she spoke to him. The finding climaxed the greatest story of his life, spanning five decades and a galaxy of remarkable humans, including a village poet who taught Terry how to see into the marrow of Mayan existence, and the little daughter Ana left with only a mysterious poem to hug.
