When Mountains Cry: the testimony of volcan agua
Historical Fiction
A work of Historical Fiction surrounding the events of the Guatemalan
civil war's peace accord (1996). Jairo Perez, a Guatemalan child adoptee
returns home as an adult, as a United Nations' peacekeeper. He is also
secretly searching for his original family: his natural mother (Berta) and a
polio-disabled sister (Felipa) whom he barely remembers; he discovers
that the war was a key factor in his mother's fateful decision to give him up.
In the meantime he falls in love with the daughter of an elitist professor,
from an old colonial-era coffee planter family -- the very social class
which he despises.
