| Synopsis
|
"Nima doesn't feel understood. By her mother, who grew up faraway
in a different land. By her suburban town, which makes her feel too
much like an outsider to fit in and not enough like an outsider to
feel like that she belongs somewhere else. At least she has her
childhood friend Haitham, with whom she can let her guard down and be
herself. Until she doesn't. As the ground is pulled out from under
her, Nima must grapple with the phantom of a life not chosen, the
name her parents didn't give her at birth: Yasmeen. But that other
name, that other girl, might just be more real than Nima knows. And
more hungry. And the life Nima has, the one she keeps wishing were
someone else's . . . she might have to fight for it with a fierceness
she never knew she had"Publisher.
