Fourteen-year-old Claire Hamilton and the other expat ninth graders need to leave their home in Saudi Arabia next year for boarding school. But when Claire has to wear a painful back brace for scoliosis, a scheming new girl finds ways to isolate her from her boyfriend Luke and her other friends. The pain and isolation make Claire feel already gone, exiled from all that makes this home—her friends, her body, and the desert Presence who calls her 'beloved daughter.'
The mystical black lioness sent to guide Claire urges her to reach out for help. But how can she do that when she can't trust anyone? And the clock is ticking—Claire must find her way home before it's too late and everybody she cares about is actually gone.
Note: This is the sequel to Call of the Desert: Crossing, and it is book two of the "Beloved Daughter" series.
