The account of an extraordinary woman who, in 1870, was driven by ill health to leave the East Coast for a new life in the West -- alone. At 33, Sara Plummer relocated to Santa Barbara, where she taught herself botany and established the town's first library. Ten years later, she married botanis John Gill Lemmon, and together the two discovered hundreds of new plant species. This book chronicles Sara's remarkable life in botany, as well as her work as a journalist and as an activist in women's suffrage and forest conservation.
