"Harrowing . . . Salak's descriptions of the jungle passage are compelling and dreamlike." --The Washington Post "Keenly observed . . . As Vecera cuts her way through swamps and forests, encountering insects, snakes and the native population along the way, you'll think of the travails of Katharine Hepburn in The African Queen." --USA Today "There aren't many books that we hand to friends, urging, 'You have to read this.' The White Mary is one of them." --The Plain Dealer (Cleveland) "Salak's descriptions of the sights, sounds, and smells of the jungle, with its brutal chieftains and servile women, brings the story to life with all of its horrors and satisfactions." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch
