It is said that the canal will be the great est feat of engineering in history. But first\, it must be built. For Fran cisco\, nothing is more upsetting than the decision of his son\, Omar\, to work as a digger in the excavation zone. \;Ada Bunting is a bold sixt een-year-old from Barbados who arrives in Panama as a stowaway alongside t housands of other West Indians seeking work. \;John Oswald has dedicat ed his life to scientific research and has journeyed to Panama in single-m inded pursuit of one goal: eliminating malaria. But now\, his wife\, Maria n\, has fallen ill herself\, and when he witnesses Ada&rsquo\;s bravery an d compassion\, he hires her on the spot as a caregiver. This fateful decis ion sets in motion a sweeping tale of ambition\, loyalty\, and sacrifice.< /p>\n
