In the 1950's Jan meets Harry Little - a jungle adventurer. Having always dreamed of living on a homestead, she accepts his offer of marriage & heads off into the jungles of Mexico with Harry & her daughter Rebecca. Jan is partially blind & although she can make out shapes & shades, her eyesight is bad enough to be registered blind. Unfortunately for Jan this is not her only disability, she is also partially deaf & needs the use of a hearing aid.

When civilisation starts to encroach on their isolated existence, they decide to head into the Amazon. They live there for a number of years - their only contact with the outside world is the cargo men who bring supplies & letters up the river. Rebecca grows up to love their jungle existence & Jan learns to live in a harsh environment with her disabilities. Both of them learn how to endure Harry's temper & biblical like preaching.

This book makes compulsive reading as Jan is stretched to the limits of human endurance. Her courage & will to survive against all odds is overwhelming.
