All Yasmeen wants to do is fit in. But her classmates in Texas are nothing like her friends back in the predominantly Arab neighborhood in Detroit where she grew up. Then Yasmeen befriends her neighbor, Ayelet Cohen, a first-generation Israeli-American, and is grateful for their connection. But when Yasmeen’s grandmother moves in after her home in the West Bank is destroyed, Yasmeen finds her family and Ayelet’s suddenly at odds, forcing them both to grapple with how much closer the events of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict are than they’ve realized. As Yasmeen begins to develop her own understandings of home, heritage, and most importantly, herself, can the two girls learn there’s more that brings them together than might tear them apart . . . and that peace begins with them?
