Where Lions Still Roar (The Tanganyika Trilogy Book 1)

EAST AFRICA, 1905.
An ancient Maasai legend rests on an infant girl orphaned by a smallpox epidemic.Rebeka, adopted by German missionaries, is traped between two cultures with a burden she cannot bear--the legend's fulfillment that she alone inherits. Around her swirl the events of the early twentieth century: a massive rebellion, a world war, and the transfer of her country from German to British control. Rebeka's responsibility to the legend is ultimately decided by a landmark case in His Majesty's Court, where German missionaries, an Italian exile, British colonials, and tribal customs clash.

Three families are affected by World War I. An Italian lawyer, wonded in the war in more ways than one; an African man who only wants to help his people but has to serve in the German army; the German doctor and his wife whose children are all buried in this unforgiving land; and, of course, Rebeka who becomes a pawn in the games people play.
