"A lyrical coming of age story exploring family, immigration, and most of all belonging. Aisha Saeed, New York Timesbestselling author ofAmal Unbound

A gorgeously written story, filled with warmth and depth." Hena Khan, author ofAminas Voice
When her family moves from Pakistan to Peachtree City, all Nurah wants is to blend in, yet she stands out for all the wrong reasons. Nurahs accent, floral-print kurtas, and tea-colored skin make her feel excluded, until she meets Stahr at swimming tryouts.
And in the water Nurah doesnt want to blend in. She wants to win medals like her star athlete brother, Owaiswho is going through struggles of his own in the U.S. Yet when sibling rivalry gets in the way, she makes a split-second decision of betrayal that changes their fates.
Ultimately Nurah slowly gains confidence in the form of strong swimming arms, and also gains the courage to stand up to bullies, fight for what she believes in, and find her place.
