When Lions Roar

De: Karen Leigh Gruber

Narrado por: Molly Secours

Two women from different lands, each struggling to survive, and a child’s mysterious disappearance that will alter both their lives forever….

Maggie, a wife and mother, is disillusioned with the daily routine of reminding her daughter to brush her teeth, having the same conversation with her husband about what’s for dinner, and doing the same mundane drive to her daughter’s school and numerous extracurricular activities. Despite her boredom, when her husband David is called on assignment to South Africa, Maggie resents having to rearrange her life all because David has decided they all need to traipse halfway across the globe.

While on safari, Maggie is catapulted into a mother’s worst nightmare: Her daughter Hannah has gone missing. Hannah’s disappearance only further drives a wedge in her already fragile marriage. Faced with the harsh truth of her emotionally abusive marriage and what she has allowed her life to become, Maggie will have to find the strength and courage to abandon her marriage and confront her self-destructive actions in order to save the life of her daughter.

Kazi, an African queen, must find a way to lead her people as a devastating ancient prophecy starts to unfold. Heartbroken when her beloved is murdered, Kazi spirals into the depths of despair. Kazi finds refuge in a most unlikely creature and discovers that only she has the power to rescue her people, its animals, and her kingdom. Both women on tragically similar paths, each struggling to reclaim their sovereignty, and desperate to put the pieces of their lives back together.

When Lions Roar is set against the backdrop of the exotic and intriguing landscape of South Africa, at a time when the country is reeling from the aftershocks of apartheid.
