Cuba has fought three wars for independence and still is not free. People have been rounded up in reconcentration camps with too little food and too much illness. Rosa is a nurse, but she dares not go to the camps. So she turns hidden caves into hospitals for those who know how to find her. <p/>Black, white, Cuban, Spanish--Rosa does her best for everyone. Yet who can heal a country so torn apart by war? <p/>Using the true story of the folk hero Rosa la Bayamesa, acclaimed poet Margarita Engle gives us another gripping, breathtaking account of a tumultuous period in Cuban history. <p/><b>A 2009 Newbery Honor Book</b><br><b>Winner of the 2009 Pura Belpr</b><b>é</b><b> Medal for Narrative</b><br><b>Winner of the 2009 Bank Street - Claudia Lewis Award</b><br><b>A 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year</b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Engle writes her new book in clear, short lines of stirring free verse.
