Showing A Place in the World by Cinda Crabbe MacKinnon

Set in an emerald cloud forest in the final decades of 1900’s this passionate novel reads like a South American "Out of Africa". "A Place in the World" is the romantic-adventure story of a young biologist and a multicultural cast of characters.
When her Colombian husband deserts her on his family's coffee farm high in the Andes Mountains, Alicia struggles to make a life there for herself and her son even as guerrilla uprisings begin to threaten the area, and a nearby volcano rumbles to life.
