Mali, 1332 - the Pearl of Africa, a bustling empire of gold, salt, and sprawling trade routes. Seventeen-year-old Awa Camara, eldest daughter of Mali's wealthiest salt trader, has one dream: to lead a caravan across the Sahara, just like her father. But when her ambitious father secures her marriage to the King's son to gain protection for his trade routes, Awa's dreams of the desert seem to vanish beneath the sands.
Torn between duty and destiny, Awa runs - determined that her future should be hers to choose. What follows is a journey through danger, betrayal, and unexpected love that will forge her into the woman she was always meant to become.
Across the Sands is a richly researched coming-of-age story set against the splendor of the 14th-century Mali Empire - a tale of a woman placed into a life she didn't choose, who discovers it held a purpose bigger than the one she'd planned for herself. For such a time as this (Esther 4:14) - Awa's story is a reminder that the paths we resist are sometimes exactly the ones meant to carry us home.
