1996 Notable Book for Children, Smithsonian Magazine Pick of the Lists, American Bookseller In the segregated south, a young girl thinks that she can drink from a fountain marked "Whites Only" because she is wearing her white socks. When Grandma was a little girl in Mississippi, she sneaked into town one day. It was a hot day—the kind of hot where a firecracker might light up by itself. But when this little girl saw the "Whites Only" sign on the water fountain, she had no idea what she would spark when she took off her shoes and—wearing her clean white socks—stepped up to drink. Bravery, defiance, and a touch of magic win out over hatred in this acclaimed story by Elevelyn Coleman. Tyrone Geter's paintings richly evoke its heat, mood, and legendary spirit.

When married couple, Lilli, an archaeologist, and Frank, a corporate executive, move to Saudi Arabia in 1975, they become immersed in this ancient, undeveloped country. They are mesmerized by a foreign culture so different from their own, especially with its radical mores and oppressive social attitudes toward women. After many years living in the land of sand, Frank tragically disappears and Christian Lilli develops a forbidden relationship with a handsome Muslim man. The love affair must be kept secret to avoid discovery by religious police. Filled with intrigue, drama, and eventually peril, The Sands Are Changing is the engaging story of Lilli's relationships with two very different men. It is also an eye-opening narrative about a culture and now modern country that is misunderstood around the world. Author Jeanne Arlette does a superb job of recreating the Saudi culture as seen through American eyes. Inspired by the author's own life, The Sands Are Changing is a romantic adventure novel in a journey through time with a surprise ending.
