Writer TRACY JOHNSTON. She's written a new book, "Shooting the Boh: a Woman's Voyage Down the Wildest River in Borneo," (Vintage Books). The book is not only an account of her adventure going down the river dealing with leeches, waterfalls, foot rot, and moldy clothes, but about her own realization that the hot flashes she was feeling in the middle of the night weren't the steamy jungle but the onset of menopause. One reviewer writes, "A powerful adventure of the head as well as the body: not to be missed," (Kirkus Reviews).
