The Path of the Embera: Panama Girl, #5

By Ida Freer

The Path of the Embera

The indigenous Embera village may be deep in the jungles of Panama, but it is isolated no more.   Four young people are growing up with one foot in the traditional ways and another facing modern life.   Difficult decisions confront them at every turn but life is interesting and and meaningful.

Young Balu embarks on an adventure that tests his mettle and Surni must make choices about her life’s path.

Fifth and final book in the Panama Girl Series.
