Happiness is Green

Donna daydreams of pulling up stakes and starting a new life, never imagining a chance encounter with a new man will lead to a wild, impetuous decision that catapults her on a soul-changing journey. Living in the Amazon rainforest, a host of curious jungle creatures visit her jungle shack, she narrowly dodges disaster on a raging river, and finds herself lost in a tropical swamp. Struck down by a tormenting tropical disease, and suffering from severe culture shock, she then embarks on a scientific field trip that alters the course of her life. Tested mentally, physically and spiritually, it is hard for Donna to feel lost in the wilderness when pure joy pounds in her heart and she discovers the way to live her one precious life. Despite being accosted by angry ants and battered by inclement weather, she works from a tree platform where she captures rare moments in the lives of wild animals, befriends a water-loving agouti rat, and forms a special bond with a tree, which persuades her it was her wild self who coerced her to travel over ten thousand miles so it could unleash itself.Written with laugh-out-loud humour and deep compassion, Donna poignantly captures the isolation, challenges, and true beauty of the rainforest where she literally rises above the limitations of her once modern life.
