| Set in Guatemala, this is the adventure of a 12-year-old Mayan girl who has been kidnapped at an early age by a dangerous con man who forces her to travel with him while he pretends to be a blind beggar. Her Uncle tells her that her parents abandoned her, and visits to an Indian fortune teller convince him that she will somehow be the key to great wealth. She can't stop thinking about the lost parents that she can barely remember, and when Uncle decides to rob the church, she risks her life and tells the priest.
