Beloved Lotus

Beloved Lotus is an historical novel set during the reign of the legendary female pharaoh Hatshepsut. This passionate saga follows Isis, a woman coming of age in ancient Egypt whose mother's death leaves her orphaned. The profound sense of emptiness that follows leads her on a quest to keep some part of her mother alive. Her perilous but insightful journey begins just following the loss of her mother and leads to her involvement as a ?sacred virgin? to the pharaoh Thutmose II, where she gets caught up in a sexual indiscretion that results in the birth of the next pharaoh and the fatal betrayal of her best friend. The novel lifts the veil between the ancient world and the netherworld, where a difficult navigation is required before reaching ?eternal bliss.'
