Helping Hands and Healing Hearts
Carol Guzy documented the lives of eight people, some young children, whose limbs were hacked off during the brutal civil war in Sierra Leone, and were brought to the United States four years ago to start anew. Thanks to prosthetics, physical and emotional therapy, and new homes and friends, they are living new lives in the United States.
It was a huge project, and although it's in need of an edit because it feels a little redundant at times (especially in the early chapters), there are some incredibly sweet moments that highlight the committment and dedication that Guzy showed to both the people and their stories -- perhaps this is best illustrated by the update on where she in now in the Epilogue.
