A research visit to Guatemala illuminates truths both intimate and global for four young travelers. The graduate students arrived in Guatemala energized and prepared to take on the entire world. They planned to follow the road of coffee beans from a peasant coffee-growing community in the american highlands through the string of purchasers, co-ops, exporters, and roasters, all the way to a café in SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. As the students investigate the revenue made at every website link in the espresso string, they confront a series of unexpected happenings that illuminate globalization in shocking ways. They befriend a coffee-growing peasant family who recounts their family tales of lot of money and tragedy wrought by espresso over generations of their Mayan family history. The partnership deepens between the family and the students. Then catastrophe hits and the students must choose how to act in response. A surprising, superbly engaging novel that illustrates the countless ethical dilemmas of our own increasingly globalized current economic climate.
