More DescriptionFive-year-old Jose enjoyed an idyllic childhood in the quaint Honduran village of Tambla. He knew his papa--the biggest, strongest, and bravest man in the world--would always protect him. But when his father was seized by a notorious military death squad, Jose's world was shattered. Who would care for him now? What had happened to his papa, and would he ever return? Jose's search for the truth about his papa's fate and his longing for a father would haunt him for decades, even after he made the dangerous journey north to the United States in search of a better life. Not until he came to know God as his Father and Protector did Jose's fragmented world begin to heal. His new faith led him on an unlikely path back to his homeland, where the quest to uncover his father's fate at last reached a dramatic conclusion.
