Book Synopsis
Farah's ready to move out of her parent's house. It takes an hour to get to campus, and she has no freedom to be herself. Maiheen and Mostafa, first-generation Iranian immigrants in Toronto, find their younger daughter's "Canadian" ways disappointing and embarrassing, and they wonder why Farah can't be like her older sister Farzana - though Farah knows things about Farzana that her parents don't. They begrudgingly agree to let Farah move, and she begins to explore her exciting new life as an independent university student. But when Farah gets assaulted on campus, everything changes. This beautiful coming-of-age story will be familiar to every immigrant in the diaspora who has struggled to find a way between cultures, every youth who has rebelled against their parents and every woman who has faced the world alone.
