Description
Eighteen-year-old Pakistani American Zahra makes an impulsive decision to run away from home and move to New York in an attempt to heal, learn to love herself, and renew her faith in family while navigating mental health and religious guilt.
Description
After Zahra Paracha makes a decision at odds with her beliefs, her mother forces Zahra to make an impossible choice about her future. Zahra runs away, relinquishing her past in favor of a new future. On Long Island she stays at a bed & breakfast. Grappling with guilt, she visits the local masjid, where she is befriended by two sisters and drawn into the welcoming Muslim community. As Zahra's healing truly begins, can she create a home for herself when the foundation is built on lies she's spun to protect her from the past? Will she have to close the rift in her family in order to truly heal? -- adapted from jacket
