MixedThe Providence JournalThe premise is interesting ... Readers may find their interest waning as the aspiring novelist—James—dutifully follows his impressive editor’s request to reconnect with his mother. They will also have to wait until the Acknowledgments at this book’s end to find out if what they have read is, indeed, the Onassis-nurtured work. But those who fondly recall the days of Camelot in the White House may enjoy it.

PositiveThe Providence JournalAny traveler will surely find this a hard book to put down. Chances are that those with wanderlust will also wish for the stamina and courage of the author, Kate Harris, and her friend Melissa. ... Harris blends her exploring with a scientific love of nature. And, in today’s world, she is also concerned with the political and economic predicaments of the people in the lands she visits. She continues to be a voracious reader ... So it is that she enlivens her own travel writing with the thoughts and dreams of great naturalists, explorers, poets and travelers of the past.
