Gloria Whelan
- At
- the
- dawn
- of
- the
- Young
- Turk
- Revolution,
- an
- English
- girl
- goes
- on
- the
- adventure
- of
- a
- lifetimeFor
- years
- Julia
- has
- stared
- at
- her
- globe,
- dreaming
- of
- countries
- on
- the
- other
- side
- of
- the
- earth.
- In
- 1907,
- when
- her
- father
- is
- assigned
- to
- go
- on
- a
- diplomatic
- mission
- to
- the
- exotic
- Ottoman
- Empire,
- Julia
- begs
- him
- not
- to
- leave
- her
- alone
- in
- the
- house
- that
- has
- been
- empty
- since
- her
- mother
- died.
- Although
- Julia
- is
- only
- sixteen
- and
- young
- women
- rarely
- travel
- abroad,
- her
- father
- relents.
- She
- will
- accompany
- him
- on
- his
- trip—seeing
- sights
- she
- never
- dreamed
- of
- that
- will
- change
- her
- life
- forever.The
- land
- of
- the
- Turks
- is
- in
- the
- first
- days
- of
- a
- rebellion,
- and
- Julia’s
- father
- has
- come
- to
- assess
- the
- revolt.
- In
- the
- endless
- deserts
- of
- Syria,
- Julia
- encounters
- ruins
- too
- old
- to
- be
- imagined,
- fascinating
- people,
- romance,
- and
- a
- revolution
- that
- will
- move
- her
- in
- ways
- she
- never
- thought possible.
