I Heal - The Children of Chernobyl in Cuba (Hardcover)

Co-written by the author of Echoes of World War II ( C. 1994), I Heal is a moving account of Tarara, Cuba, where more than 13,000 young victims of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident have been treated since 1990. Some of these children have leukemia or other life-threatening cancers. Others are sent to Tarara simply to spend a few weeks in a healthy climate. Told in the first person by Elena Balushko, one of the children of Chernobyl, I Heal reveals how the children are being treated, introduces readers to the Cuban doctors who treat them, and demon demonstrates why Tarara is truly a place for healing.
