A New York Times Bestselling Author
This extraordinary story of botany‚ exploration and desire‚ spanning much of the 19th century‚ follows the fortunes of the brilliant Alma Whittaker (daughter of a bold and charismatic botanical explorer) as she comes into her own within the world of plants and science.
