I learned about destinations and cultures I would never have chosen to visit and felt like I had traveled in her footsteps, whether on a jungle river in the torrid Guyana rain or a dusty road in Ecuador. Her vivid writing style lets you feel and experience the journey without leaving the comfort of your home ... no backpack required.
