This is a book about a girly girl raised by her Cuban mother, grandmother and aunt in Little Havana who grows up to be a National Geographic explorer. She was a cheerleader for the Miami Dolphins in college but fell in love with the thought of becoming a primatologist. She achieved her dream and the book is mainly about her explorations. The chapters are fairly short - each dealing mainly with one of her trips and there is tragedy but also some comedy. It was an enjoyable read about a girl who packs a little black dress along with her pink boots for each exploration - not your typical explorer.
