About Wendy
Meeting her father is the miracle Wendy Tapper has always prayed for. When she meets him in New York during her senior year of high school, her life changes in more ways than she expects. He has more money than her struggling single mother, and his family owns a hotel on the island of Jamaica.

Wendy's boyfriend Paul has been her best friend for life, and he is also the one she plans to marry. The teens face an ongoing conflict between their church teaching them abstinence, and the promiscuity of their peers. By senior year, they've formed strong convictions about where they stand. They're saving themselves for each other until after they get married. The only problem is they want to get married right after they finish high school. Wendy's mother insists that they should wait until they graduate from college. Wendy is about to find out where her father stands: beside her as she walks down the aisle, or by her mom.
No Word for Welcome
Wendy Call visited the Isthmus of Tehuantepec?the lush sliver of land connecting the Yucatan Peninsula to the rest of Mexico?for the first time in 1997. She found herself in the midst of a storied land, a place Mexicans call their country'sø?little waist,? a place long known for its strong women, spirited marketplaces, and deep sense of independence. She also landed in the middle of a ferocious battle over plans to industrialize the region, where most people still fish, farm, and work in the forests. In the decade that followed her first visit, Call witnessed farmland being paved for new highways, oil spilling into rivers, and forests burning down. Through it all, local people fought to protect their lands and their livelihoods?and their very lives.ø ø Call?s story, No Word for Welcome, invites readers into the homes, classrooms, storefronts, and fishing boats of the isthmus, as well as the mahogany-paneled high-rise offices of those striving to control the region. With timely and invaluable insights into the development battle, Call shows that the people who have suffered most from economic globalization have some of the clearest ideas about how we can all survive it.
