When a teenage girl' s single mom is taken by ICE, everything changes-all of her hopes and dreams for the future have turned into survival. Seventeen-year-old Rania is shaken awake in her family' s apartment in Brooklyn. ICE is at the door, taking her mother away. But Ammi has done everything right, hasn' t she? Their asylum case is fine. This was supposed to be Rania' s greatest summer- hanging out with her best friend, Fatima, and getting ready for college in the fall. But it' s 2019, and nothing is certain. Now, along with her younger brother, Kamal, and a new friend, Carlos, Rania must figure out how to survive. A road trip leads to searching for answers to questions she didn' t even think to ask. In this vivid exploration of what happens when the country you have put your hopes into is fast shutting down, award-winning author Marina Budhos shows us how one girl bursting with dreams navigates secrets, love, and the lure of the open road.
"A triumphant tale about finding home. " -Kirkus Reviews, starred review "The tightly wound plot creates an underlying tension as the young characters' situations constantly unravel. " -The Horn Book "[A] hopeful tale with a large cast of kind-hearted characters, whose boundless compassion for Rania and Kamal, and sense of helplessness in the face of an unfair and impossible government system, is palpable. " -Publishers Weekly
