She lives in a thatch-roofed hut with no electricity. She bathes in a river and beats her clothes on a rock. She single-handedly fends off tarantulas. And every night, Peace Corps Volunteer Nancy Heil writes about these adventures in letters to God. She initially sets out on her journey to "save the world"; what she doesn't realize is that God actually designed the experience to rescue her. Through intimate first-person accounts and letters, Woven invites you to accompany Nancy on her pilgrimage into the jungles of Belize, where she will introduce you to the beautiful Mayan families she comes to love. Through Nancy's reflections, you will breathe in the captivating beauty of the K'ekchi Maya culture, face the loneliness caused by separation from loved ones, and witness the building of the village's first-ever library. Journey with her as she struggles to maintain her former relationships --- especially with her college sweetheart, Dan Wagner --- and watch as God gently "untangles" an ordinary girl and weaves for her an extraordinary tale of adventure, romance, and true friendship.
