Summary

Seventeen-year-old Rania is shaken awake in her Brooklyn apartment. 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, getting ready for college in the fall. But it's 2019, and nothing is certain. Now, along with her younger brother, Kamal, Rania must figure out how to survive. They meet a charming boy named Carlos and hit the road together. 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
