Santiago's Children: What I Learned about Life at an Orphanage in Chile by Steve Reifenberg
Santiago's Children: What I Learned about Life at an Orphanage in Chile

aaaaaaaaaaaa, April 16, 2008

Steve Reifenberg's narrative of his first years in Santiago is a remarkable tale of those who are among the most vulnerable and hopeless children on the planet and the woman who loves them and molds them into a family of sorts. It also tells of those, like Steve, who contribute of themselves to make a decent life possible for those kids. Santiago's Children interweaves anecdotes of mirth and sorrow over a backdrop of power politics and bureaucratic intransigence. Ultimately, it is a tale of how persistent love and determination do prevail.
