MYSTERIOUS TRAVELER
PEET, MAL
Already an old man, desert guide Issa has seen thousands of dawns. One particular morning, however,
the desert reveals something new; something that changes his life. Tucked away in a narrow cave,
shielded from a treacherous dust storm by a faithful camel, a baby girl lies wrapped in fine cotton and
wearing half of a star medallion around her neck. Issa names the girl Mariama. As years pass, Issa loses
his sight, and Mariama becomes his eyes. So Issa doesn’t see the pattern on the robes of a mysterious
young traveler who comes through their village, or the medallion he wears. Who is this young stranger,
and what does his arrival mean for the life Issa and Mariama share in the desert?
