I loved this book. It was full of mystery, adventure, and science. In all of the excitement the characters still managed to tug on my heart strings. This is the story of an obstetrician turned scientist named Dr. Marina Singh. She travels to the jungles of Brazil for a drug company who has a research team stationed there. Her mission is to find out the mystery behind one of her college's death and to get a status report on the fertility drug that that is supposed to be in development there. The lead scientist conducting most of the research is Dr. Swenson. She is one of Marina's old professors, in her 70's and when Marina arrive she finds her pregnant! Marina is taken in by the tribe and forms an attachment to a deaf boy named Easter, who was rescued by Dr. Swenson when he was a toddler and now runs all of her errands. Marina falls into the role of the tribe's doctor and a story unfolds that will keep you turning the pages and wishing for more when you get to the end.
