The Length of the World

Saxon, along with his sister, Kaitlin and her daughter, Rachel, traveled by river boat to Manaus, Brazil, in the heart of the Amazon.

Kaitlin had worked on her ethnopharmacopeia for years and now she wanted to locate the village of Alichapon-tupec where she believed she would find rare and exotic medicinal plants. She needed to collect specimens and learn from the Yanomami natives about their use of the plants. This would fill out the last chapter of her manuscript.

An unusual young woman they met on the dock at Manaus changed their plans.
