Book Synopsis

Zorah Sharaf has long been the apple of her parents'' eye. Clever and beautiful, Rahmat and Maryam, refugees who moved from Afghanistan to America, see their daughter''s bright future as the culmination of their American dream. But when teenage Zorah starts secretly dating, her family--and her parents'' friends--see a different side to Zorah, and she loses her golden child status.

A year later, Zorah is killed in what is initially ruled a tragic car accident. But as more comes out about Zorah and her family, those who knew her best--and those who didn''t know her at all--all seemingly have an opinion on who Zorah really was, and what really happened to her that night.

Told through the voices surrounding the Sharafs, Good People moves through the year leading up to Zorah''s tragedy and explores the aftermath as the twin forces of the police investigation and the court of public opinion draw battle lines amongst those who knew Zorah and her family best.
