"You forget. You forget you don't really exist here, that this
isn't your home." Since emigrating from Bangladesh,
fourteen-year-old Nadira and her family have been living in New
York City on expired visas, hoping to realize their dream of
becoming legal U.S. citizens. But after 9/11, everything changes.
Suddenly being Muslim means you are dangerous -- a suspected
terrorist. When Nadira's father is arrested and detained at the
U.S.-Canadian border, Nadira and her older sister, Aisha, are told
to carry on as if everything is the same. The teachers at Flushing
High don't ask any questions, but Aisha falls apart. Nothing
matters to her anymore -- not even college. It's up to Nadira to be
the strong one and bring her family back together again.
