Maria Sutton

Maria Sutton’s memoir, The Night Sky: A Journey From Dachau to Denver and Back is the culmination of her forty-three year search for her father. Without knowing the spelling of her father’s name, or 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 war-torn 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.
