Book Cover & Preview Text
As Samanta is carried off, on a woman’s back, she asks Blue Flower: “Where am I going? Why is this woman carrying me on her back? Where do I belong? Where is my home?” And the Blue Flower reassures her: “Don’t worry, Samanta, my child. You are safe. You are embarking on your journey of hope.” Paradise Bird circles above the crowds and observes. He follows them through the mountains and into the valley. Samanta does not want to take her eyes off Paradise Bird, though she can recognize him even when he is flying way ahead with the other birds. She knows he is there with her, watching her and anxiously awaiting to tell her more about her future . . . . .
