Books like Parade of Shadows by Gloria Whelan
Julia Hamilton is seventeen, restless, and living alone in the echo‑filled house where her mother died a decade earlier. Determined not to be left behind again, she pleads with her father to let her join his next voyage. When he unexpectedly agrees, Julia sees a sliver of opportunity: a chance to leave the past behind and find adventure and romance. Traveling across the ancient lands of the Levant, she encounters a French antiques collector, a British horticulturist, and a young student whose charm masks secrets as elusive as a mirage. As the journey unfolds, Julia learns that the world she has entered is fraught with danger and intrigue, and she must decide whom she can trust and what she is willing to fight for.
