"Listening for Lions" by Gloria Whelan tells the story of a young girl named Amani, who grows up in colonial Africa. After the sudden death of her missionary parents, she finds herself in an unexpected predicament when she is forced to assume the identity of the daughter of a wealthy family. As Amani navigates her new life, she discovers the complexities of love, loyalty, and the struggle for freedom. With her heart torn between two worlds, she ultimately embarks on a journey of self-discovery and courage, finding her voice amidst the challenges of her circumstances.
