A young Bolivian biologist wakes alone on the Salar de Uyuni - the world's largest salt flat, a perfect mirror of sky. She travels through the Amazon, tames a parrot she names Soledad, and climbs Machu Picchu. Hearing the other survivors' voices, she builds a balsa raft and launches into the Pacific. The parrot flies away. Adrift, she sees a light on the horizon - and the book ends.
