Description

Thirty years ago, a young Colorado ski racer falls in love with the freedom and sensuality of a remote Costa Rican rainforest. However, unlike most of us who return home from our tropical vacations, she sets out to make this sensation her life, and to help others experience it. With her own hands, and the help of a Costa Rican boyfriend, she builds an ecolodge in the remote rainforest of Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula.

During her journey, a tractor trailer rolls over on her, breaking her leg in four places, her house burns to the ground, and she completely runs out of money. These calamities only strengthen her resolve. In the end, she succeeds in building a lodge praised by media ranging from Travel + Leisure to CNN, and in helping people from all over the world experience one of the most biologically diverse places on earth. She also creates the nonprofit Whitehawk Foundation to save the Osa rainforest.

Featured Reviews

Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley. My review opinions are my own. .

Lana Wedmore was just a skier from Colorado when she went on a trip to Costa Rico that changed her life forever. She not only returned to the area to live she began plans to build a Eco lodge and Yoga retreat. Many mishaps and problems occurred along the way but she was not deterred from her dream. This is here story of how she gained the confidence to do what others told her could not be done. I enjoyed this retelling of her story and especially enjoyed her triumph of building her lodge which today is very successful. A very inspiring story.
