“An exciting and inspiring read that shows us how womanhood, courage and revolution are three words that often mean the same thing.”―NPR
At the end of the nineteenth century, three revolutionary women fight for freedom in New York Times bestselling author Chanel Cleeton's captivating new novel inspired by real-life events and the true story of a legendary Cuban woman—Evangelina Cisneros—who changed the course of history.
A feud rages in Gilded Age New York City between newspaper tycoons William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. When Grace Harrington lands a job at Hearst's newspaper in 1896, she’s caught in a cutthroat world where one scoop can make or break your career, but it’s a story emerging from Cuba that changes her life.
Unjustly imprisoned in a notorious Havana women's jail, eighteen-year-old Evangelina Cisneros dreams of a Cuba free from Spanish oppression. When Hearst learns of her plight and splashes her image on the front page of his paper, proclaiming her, "The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba," she becomes a rallying cry for American intervention in the battle for Cuban independence.  
With the help of Marina Perez, a courier secretly working for the Cuban revolutionaries in Havana, Grace and Hearst's staff attempt to free Evangelina. But when Cuban civilians are forced into reconcentration camps and the explosion of the USS Maine propels the United States and Spain toward war, the three women must risk everything in their fight for freedom.

      Listeners will be captivated by this intriguing historical novel about the late-nineteenth-century Cuban quest for independence from Spanish rule. The story centers on the real-life "most beautiful girl in Cuba," Evangelina Cisneros, who was wrongfully imprisoned when she rebuffed the advances of a Spanish commander. Frankie Corzo's impressive narration animates Evangelina's resolve and determined spirit. In a reflective tone that conveys emotional depth, Rebecca Soler portrays Marina Perez, who acts as a courier for the Cuban revolutionaries. Reporting for William Randolph Hearst's newspaper is novice investigative journalist Grace Harrington, deftly presented by Holly Linneman in a light pitch and contemplative tone. Each narrator also creates vibrant male character portrayals, and Corzo and Soler provide authentic Spanish pronunciations. M.J. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
