Fe del Mundo's sister dreamt of becoming a doctor-a big dream for a
girl in the Philippines in the early 1900s. When her sister dies,
young Fe vows to take her place, a promise she carries with her the
rest of her life. In 1936 she becomes the first woman and first
person of Asian descent to study at Harvard Medical School. When
WWII begins in the Pacific, Fe faces a choice: remain in Boston,
where she is safe, or return to the Philippines, where she is
needed most. Fe follows her vision and returns home to care for the
American and British children forced into the internment camp at
Santo Tomas. Beautiful color drawings bring to life this gentle and
courageous character, her family and her patients. The story of the
courageous Dr. Fe del Mundo, recipient of the Elizabeth Blackwell
Award for distinguished women "whose life exemplifies outstanding
service to humanity," and the Ramon Magsaysay Award, Asia's
equivalent of the Nobel Prize, will inspire children to pursue
science and medicine in the service of humanity.
