When Lucinda Fleeson lost her reporting job at the Philadelphia Inquirer she decided to start a new career as fund raiser for the National Tropical Botanical Garden in Hawaii. While there, she learned about the fragility of Hawaiis biodiversity, and the irony of Hawaii being both a tropical paradise and the extinction capital of the world. An engaging, readable narrative with just the right balance between memoir and science journalism. 4 stars
