This book examines the experiences of orphaned child survivors of Guatemala’s 36-year internal armed conflict and genocide who were raised in an in-country permanent residential home. Now adults, they have faced long-term consequences but also have become resilient, well-adapted adults with a strong sense of identity and belonging.
