Andi Unexpected (2013)
“5 The next morning, I stepped onto the porch a little after seven. No one else was up yet. Just like Dad used to do, I always wake up with the sun. He told me dawn was the best time of the day in Guatemala City, when the city shook itself awake. He promised he would take me there someday.

I spun to the left and saw Bergita with a mug in her hand. She was pitching back and forth on one of the cane rocking chairs on her front porch. Jackson snoo...zed on his pillow by the front door.

“This is certainly a pleasant surprise. I like to see young people up bright and early, ready to tackle the new day. Have a seat.” She motioned to the opposite rocker. On the small table between us, a perspiring teapot and a second mug waited as if they’d been expecting me. Also sitting on the table was a small plate holding two lumpy pastries I didn’t recognize.MoreLess
