Summary
1979. Jasmine Zumideh is ready to leave Southern California and into her dream school, NYU. There's only one teensy problem: on the application, she maybe said she was senior class president-- before the election had taken place. When the Iran hostage crisis stirs up anti-Iranian hysteria at the school, the white lie she told snowballs into an avalanche. Stuck between claiming her heritage or hiding it, supporting her outspoken brother Ali or turning her back on him, will Jasmine have to abandon her dreams?
