Maria Sutton is the author of The Night Sky. Please join me on The FAITH Girls blog, this Friday for a great interview and book giveaway!
Maria Sutton was born in the barracks
of Germany’s former Wehrmacht command center, which had been converted to house
Europe’s Displaced Persons after WWII.
In 1951, Maria, along with her
Mother, Step-father, and sister immigrated to America and she has lived in the
greater Denver metro area since that time.
Her book, The Night Sky: A
Journey from Dachau to Denver and Back is the culmination of her
43-year search for her biological father, who disappeared shortly after her
birth in war-torn Germany. Without
knowing the spelling or his name, nor his date and place of birth, Maria was
able to find him – proving that with unwavering determination, anything is
possible.
Maria
graduated from the University of Colorado with a Bachelor of Science in Finance
and Accounting and has also attended the John F. Kennedy School of Government
at Harvard University. She has been
employed by the U. S. government in several capacities throughout her Federal
career, receiving many awards for her writing and investigative skills.
The
above title is available from Johnson Books, an imprint of Big Earth
Publishing. Her memoir will be
translated into several languages, including German, Polish, and Ukrainian.
Maria
and her family reside in Golden, Colorado.
