Summary: Fifteen-year-old Janna is dealing with a set of normal teenage issues—crushes, negotiating spending time with her divorced mother and father, and deciding how she feels about her brother’s possible soon-to-be fiancée—but she has one big secret that is tearing her apart inside: a boy who everyone at her mosque believes is a wonderful young man has done something terrible to her, and she doesn’t know how to respond. Follow Janna’s story as she juggles these issues and, along the way, discovers who in her life is really going to be there for her and even meets some unexpected allies.
