Book Synopsis
The riveting tale of two pioneering botanists and their historic boat trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon

Trade Review
"“It’s not just the story but the way it’s told that matters here. Unlike those old-time newspaper reporters, Sevigny does not look at her subjects and see women out of place. She sees women doing their job and doing it well. She muses with pleasure about that change in perspective, while acknowledging (correctly) that women still face serious gender barriers in the modern profession of science.”" -- The New York Times Book Review
