Description

Set against the vibrant, complicated world of immigrant life in contemporary America, this coming-of-age novel follows young people from Pakistani and Iraqi Muslim families as they navigate friendship, romance, family expectations, and the search for identity. Their lives are shaped by cultural traditions, generational tensions, and the pressures of being seen—and sometimes misunderstood—in a post-9/11 world. Witty, heartfelt, and richly observant, the story explores faith, belonging, prejudice, and the many ways people define themselves beyond the labels placed upon them.
