The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert
A book of epic time-line, following the Whittaker family

enterprising Henry Whittaker, who was born poor-but makes a fortune in the
South American quinine trade, to the main character -- his brilliant daughter,
Alma who becomes a gifted botanist. She researches the mysteries of evolution, falls
in love, travels the world and invites us in to a fantastic world of missionaries,
abolitionists, adventurers, astronomers, sea captains, and geniuses. We also get to ride along exploring London , Peru ,
Philadelphia , Tahiti and Amsterdam . An all-time favorite!! ♥♥♥♥
