    About this ebook

    A newly minted biologist, Raisha, yearns to do something to help the world's environment. She takes a job on a South Sea island, hoping to get that chance. There she runs against the same "old boy network" barriers she had experienced on the mainland. Then in a pristine natural setting she finds the means to achieve her goals.
