In her debut chapbook, Flight of the Quetzal, Evangeline presents a narrative of travel and self-exploration, detailing her experiences as a missionary in rural Guatemala. By interweaving scenes of present-day intercultural interactions with historical accounts of violence against Guatemala's indigenous populations, Evangeline explores the complexities of engaging with a culture and language that she will never truly know, despite her best efforts and intentions. At its core, Flight of the Quetzal is a celebration of a nation that has risen, time and time again, from the blood-washed trenches of defeat.

The Quetzal in Flight examines the motives for immigration of Guatemalan families to the United States, and explores the processes of psychological change and adaptation that take place within the families during the early period of resettlement. Norita Vlach interviews six families, illustrating how each family's culture reflects its origins, decision to move, journey, and settling-in process. Unique to this study are its focus on a previously undocumented Central American population, the demonstrated interrelation of historical-structural and acculturation perspectives, and the use of the nuclear family as a model with which to study the immigration process. Following a discussion of migration and mental health and a description of the historical and geographical context of migration in Guatemala, Vlach briefly reviews literature in the field of family studies and migration. The six case studies follow, each one characterized as either centripetal (in which families pull together to face the new world) or centrifugal (in which members are disengaged and in conflict). The author summarizes how the families cope under stressful circumstances, how they use resources, and how they exhibit conflicting perceptions of both Guatemala and the United States. The effect of civil war in Guatemala, the role of the evangelical church, the consequences of marital and family separation and reunification, and the disquieting reaction of Guatemalan migrant youth to their transplantation into the United States are all addressed. Vlach concludes by discussing the implications for anthropological theory and applied work. Although this study is specific to Guatemalan families, its findings apply readily to recent immigrants and refugees of other Latin American countries.

On the heels of Mark Hitchcock’s prophecy bestseller 2012, the Bible, and the End of the World comes a suspenseful novel (coauthored with bestselling novelist Alton Gansky) about the supposed expiration date of planet earth—December 21, 2012. Andrew Morgan is a wealthy oil executive in search of the meaning of life. In his quest for answers he encounters the ancient Mayan predictions that the world will end in 2012. That the claims seem supported by math and astronomy drives him to check on them. Then he meets Lisa Campbell, an attractive Christian journalist also researching the Mayan calendar. When he learns that she is a Christian, he quickly dismisses what she has to say. As the time draws closer to December 21, 2012, a meteorite impact in Arizona, a volcanic eruption, and the threat of an asteroid on a collision-course with earth escalate fears. Are these indicators of a global apocalypse? Will anyone survive? Does Lisa’s Christian faith have the answers after all? Or has fate destined everyone to a holocaust from which there is no escape?

Move over Tiger Mom. Latinos now have Quetzal Mama. Author Roxanne Ocampo - aka "Quetzal Mama" is a proud Latina mom who has demystified the complex college admissions process for Latino students. After strategizing her own children's pathway to Harvard and USC, Quetzal Mama shares her strategies. Ocampo provides a 3-prong approach including the "10 Quetzal Mama Principles" - the guiding psychological principles to raise superstars, how to "Work the System" - the intricate, inside track of K-12 public school systems that elude most Latino parents, and the nuts and bolts of the "College Admissions Process" - including a comprehensive review of each component of the admissions process. She informs students and parents with what they need to do, when they need to do it, and how they can achieve it. Her book provides resources, tips, strategies, and practical wisdom. Her book was written with the conviction that Latino parents are not looking to understand why their children should go to college but how to get them there. The content appeals to Latino students as each chapter includes culturally-authentic language and examples, recognizable colloquialisms, personal and relatable stories, and addresses our specific needs and challenges. Her writing comes from working directly with Latino students including traditional, non-traditional, first-generation, migrant, as well as undocumented students. This book will empower Latino parents so their children can achieve academic excellence, become the leaders they were intended to be, and make a valuable contribution to humanity. Become a Quetzal Mama!
