For Guatemalan adoptee Aura Elena Baker, a trip to meet her birth mother shows her the higher purpose of being a magical Lifter and the truth about her “adoption.” When her native village is threatened and her powers disappear, Elena sets out on a quest to reignite her magic and help save her community.
See photos related to Elena’s experiences such as worry dolls, Guatemalan kites, and indigenous traje/clothing!
