520    From the moment she's struck by lightening as a baby, it 
       is clear that Mary Anning is marked for greatness. On the 
       windswept, fossil-strewn beaches of the English coast, she
       learns that she has "the eye"-and finds what no one else 
       can see. When Mary uncovers an unusual fossilized skeleton
       in the cliffs near her home, she sets the religious 
       fathers on edge, the townspeople to vicious gossip, and 
       the scientific world alight. In an arena dominated by men,
       however, Mary is barred from the academic community; as a 
       young woman with unusual interests she is suspected of 
       sinful behavior. Nature is a threat, throwing bitter, cold
       storms and landslips at her. And when she falls in love, 
       it is with an impossible man.
