"Part history, part personal confession, part cautionary tale about environmental preservation...[An] impeccably researched, beautifully told tale of how America's most exotic locale transformed the life of an urban journalist." —Gioia Diliberto, author of The Collection
"When the few remaining individuals of an endangered plant species are too few to have much chance of survival in nature, we must intervene; the same is true when our own lives reach a level of sameness at which they seem to lose purpose. In this engaging book, Lucinda Fleeson tells us how she found new meaning for her life among the plants and fascinating people of the tropical paradise that is the beautiful island of Kauai in the Hawaiian islands. Highly recommended." – Peter H. Raven, President, Missouri Botanical Garden. St. Louis
