Publisher's summary

It is 1860 and revolution is erupting throughout the world over universal emancipation. Civil war looms in the Unites States. In the midst of it all, a young woman is moving back to Boston with what is left of her family, devastated and bankrupted by savage, tragic events that occurred less than a year ago in the Pacific Northwest. They traverse a hostile terrain on the new Panama isthmus railroad, the most modern transportation in the world. From inside their coach they watch the humid forest, a different type of green from what they knew up north, slipping fast past, a warm verdant blur. Looking down the aisle they see an uncomfortable array of fellow travelers, an international mix of characters with whom they will get to know all too well...each with hidden hopes and dreams...predators and victims, desperadoes and hangmen, widows and widow makers. A convenient ride through the jungle. An inconvenient assault. A run for their lives.

Excellent, Engaging, Enlightenment

The book started off a little slow because of the introduction of many new characters. But as the story went on, it became mesmerizing. The history of isthmus was very well researched and blended well with the fiction part of story. The colorful descriptions of characters and surroundings brought the story to vivid life. Well done.
