Author Patricia Sitkin's love affair with Nicaragua, the land and its people, began with an Oxfam America tour of the country and of neighboring Honduras a few months after the overthrow of the Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza. Each year in the 1980's, Sitkin returned for a few weeks as a freelance reporter. Decades later, Sitkin, in Indio, masterfully orchestrates a harrowing and heartrending tale set in Sandinista Nicaragua.
