Description
It is 1896. Cuba has fought three Wars for independence and still is not free. People have been rounded up in concentration camps with too little food and too much illness. Rosa is a nurse, but she dares not go to the camps. She turns hidden caves into hospitals for those who know how to find her. Black, white, Cuban Spanish--Rosa does her best for everyone. Yet who can heal a country so torn apart by war? Acclaimed poet Margarita Engle has created another breathtaking portrait of Cuba.
