- Synopsis
- In the early years of the 18th century Jean Godin joined a band of French scientists on a unprecedented expedition to South America to measure the precise shape of the earth. Like Lewis and Clark's exploration of the American West, their incredible mission revealed the mysteries of a littleknown continent to a world hungry for discovery.
  At expedition's end, Jean and his Peruvian wife Isabel Godin, became stranded at opposite ends of the Amazon, victims of a tangled web of international politics. Isabel's solo journey to reunite with Jean after their calamitous twenty-year separation was so dramatic that it left all of 18th century Europe spellbound. Her survival--unprecedented in the annals of Amazon exploration--was a testament to human endurance, female resourcefulness, and the power of devotion.
