Summary:
The end of the book and the main idea is about the author Victoria Sanford’s how her book is a vehicle for survivors of La Violencia , the period of human rights abuses against Maya Indians in Guatemala, to tell their stories of persecution and, ultimately, of survival. Buried Secrets strives not only to tell the stories of the victims, but to show how their testimonies help to find both truth and justice for the Maya in Guatemala. Guatemala use the term La Violencia when referring to the massacres in 626 villages and 200,000 civilian victims of a thirty six year long civil war. Buried Secrets is a difficult book to read because of the tears that flood the eyes of readers who wade through the traumatic memories of massacre survivors.

"La violencia"
Reactions:
The word la violencia raps up the story because its the circle of life in the book. Its a word that raps up what the Mayan went threw. It sums up their event of suffering. This book was really good it open my eyes up to a different level of struggle far from other books that involved similar even such as the book night. It was a painful book to read because of how everyone faced the treatment and how it effected them to a maximum point where they went even safe in their own pride land. They were strip of all kinds of integrity and hope.
