"Jude never thought she'd be leaving her beloved older brother
and father behind, all the way across the ocean in Syria. But when
things in her hometown start becoming volatile, Jude and her mother
are sent to live in Cincinnati with relatives. At first, everything
in America seems too fast and too loud. The American movies that Jude
has always loved haven't quite prepared her for starting school in
the US —and her new label of 'Middle Eastern,' an identity she's
never known before. But this life also brings unexpected
surprises—there are new friends, a whole new family, and a school
musical that Jude just might try out for. Maybe America, too, is a
place where Jude can be seen as she really is"—Provided by
