Summary
 Silver Winner, IBPA Book Award * Shortlisted for Eric Hoffer Book Award Grand Prize * Honorable Mention for Historical Fiction, Eric Hoffer Book Award * Finalist, Literary Fiction, KBR Book Award * First Place, Literary Fiction, International Firebird Book Award * First Place, Womens Issues, International Firebird Book Award In a time so long ago it is lost to memory, Etana is born with the Sight and a rare gift granted by the Beastgod: she can speak with elephants. After Etanas sister is left alive but unresponsive by the womanhood ritual, she understands what awaits her. When her father promises her in marriage to an older man, she chooses the unthinkable. Leaving behind the sister she could not save, Etana flees. Alone but guided by ancestral spirits and a bond with a mysterious elephant, Etana journeys into the realm of myth. A Nubian king summons her to tame a ferocious elephant destined for war. In order to claim her future, she must master more than beastsshe must face enemies, survive betrayal, and confront a court that thrives on secrets and blood. As kingdoms clash and gods murmur in dreams, Etana rises from fugitive to warrioress, from outcast to commander. In a world where loyalty is eternal and power demands sacrifice, how will she endure the cost? Told through the rhythms of oral tradition and infused with magic, myth, and cultural memory, this is a luminous tale of spiritual resilience, feminine power, and the living bond between human and nature. Readers of The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, The Famished Road by Ben Okri, or Babylonia by Costanza Casati will be enchanted by the magical realism and lyricism of this standalone novel. Because the past still speaksand sometimes, it sings. Praise for The Weight of Dreams: "... it's a world where a large river flows 'to the end of the world and into the stars' and a daughter can be married off for the price of five pelts ... Our Verdict: GET IT" Kirkus Reviews "The frame of story-as-legacywhat is remembered, what is forgotten, and who carries hope forwardgives the book a lasting aftertaste." Book Nerdection, "Must Read" Review " ... a rapturous adventure about a strong-willed woman's quest to find her place amid a chaotic and dangerous world of warring kingdoms."
