Yet there is so much inspiration all around her -- watching her brother search for a future, learning to dance and to love, and finding out what it means to be part of a community -- that Ana Rosa must write it all down. As she struggles to find her own voice and a way to make it heard, Ana Rosa realizes the power of her words to transform the world around her -- and to transcend the most unthinkable of tragedies.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An achingly beautiful story."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)<br><br>"Eloquent."--ALA Booklist (starred review)<br><br>"Finely wrought."--Publisher's Weekly<br><br>"Lovely and lyrical."--School Library Journal<br><br>"Poetically structured, vividly imagined."--The Horn Book<br>
