From the award-winning poet and author of HOME IS NOT A COUNTRY. A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Bad girl. No matter how hard Samira tries, she can’t shake her reputation.

For the first time, Samira feels wanted. But soon she’s keeping a bigger secret than ever before—one that that could prove her reputation and jeopardize her place in her community. In this gripping coming-of-age novel from the critically acclaimed author Safia Elhillo, a young woman searches to find the balance between honoring her family, her artistry, and her authentic self.
