520 $aWhen Nurah's family moves from Karachi, Pakistan, to Peachtree City, Georgia, all she really wants is to blend in, but she stands out for all the wrong reasons. Nurah's accent, floral-print kurtas, and tea-colored skin make her feelexcluded, and she's left to eat lunch alone under the stairwell, until she meets Stahr at swimming tryouts. Stahr covers her body when in the water, just like Nurah, but for very different reasons. But in the water, Nurah doesn't wantto blend in: She wants to stand out. She wants to win medals like her star athelete brother, Owais--who is going through struggles of his onw in America--yet when sibling rivalry gets in the way, she makes a split-second decision of betrayal thatchanges their fates. As Nurah slowly begins to sprout wings in the form of strong swimming arms, she gradually gains the courage to stand up to bullies, fight for what she believes in, and find her place.
