Summary: Summary: “Gripped by haunting magazine images of starving refugees, Elsa has dreamed of becoming a nurse since she was a teenager.

No one in her family has ever escaped poverty, but Elsa has a secret weapon: a tube of lipstick she found in her older sister’s bureau. Wearing it never fails to raise her spirits and cement her determination. With lipstick on, she can do anything, even travel alone to war-torn Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11…”—back cover.
