Maria Sutton is the award-winning author of The Night Sky: A Journey From Dachau to Denver and Back. Her memoir is the culmination of her forty-three year search for a stranger who disappeared shortly after her birth in war-torn Germany. Without knowing the spelling of this stranger's name, nor his date and place of birth, Maria was able to find him - proving that with unwavering determination, anything is possible. Born in a Displaced Persons Camp in Germany, Maria was three when she immigrated to the United States in 1951 with her sister, mother, and stepfather. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and Finance from the University of Colorado, and has also attended the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
