When fifteen-year-old Jay becomes separated from his class during a field trip into the Florida slough, he’s armed with almost nothing: a half-charged drone, a paper map, and a bottle of warm water. Every step through the swamp is a fight against mud that pulls, roots that trip, and eyes in the water that might belong to logs—or alligators. But the swamp isn’t empty. Moss, a scarred, ancient alligator, shadows Jay’s journey. Not as protector, not as hunter—simply as presence. In the fog and silence, that presence feels like guidance.

A Lion in the Way is the story of Annerley’s friendship with two contemporaries whose characters and personalities differed widely from her own: the temperamental and quick-tempered Shareen Prebdel, daughter of wealthy Indian parents—and Moira Fenwick, a difficult and self-willed girl whose parents had never concerned themselves with her well-being. It is also the story of Annerley’s development from Childhood to womanhood, and her marriage. Above all it is the story of India, of the people’s fight for independence and the dawning of the end of British rule.

In the attic’s dust and a river that remembers every skipped stone, the narrator pieces together a mosaic of first friendships, small betrayals, and the one luminous summer that seemed to last forever. As past and present braid together, ordinary objects—an enamel cup, a scratched vinyl, a kite snagged in a tree—turn into lanterns that guide the way through grief, love, and the long echo of choices we didn’t know we were making.
