This memoir was written as the photographers, Joanne Calkins and her husband, Jim Chapman, sat in their camper in various locations in Guatemala in 1990-1991.

With 383 pages and 380 photos and illustrations, this book will be of interest to those who appreciate fiber arts and the artisans who make them, those who want to know about Guatemalan and Mayan history, those who study cultural change in traditional cultures, and those who enjoy a good story about independent travel and adventure.
