Gotta keep it real!

What's the most difficult part of eighth grade?

A: You dye your hair. Terribly.

B: Your friends catch you in a lie and grill you about it.

C: Your parents don't support your dreams.

D : HOLD UP -- IT GETS WORSE?!

It's September of 2001. Eighth grade is in full swing, and the year is starting off strong. But then ithappens. No, not Sara's fourteenth birthday on September 12 -- the day before, when everything changes.

As a Middle Eastern girl in the immediate aftermath of 9 / 11, Sara is feeling like an outsider and she's desperate to conceal her Iranian background to fit in. She lies to her closest friends and classmates, dyes her hair blonde (with disastrous results!), and grows distant from her Iranian-born dad. But as hard as Sara tries to hide her identity, a new friend sees the real Sara and challenges her to embrace her true self -- every part of her.

In this final installment of the Mixed Feelings series, Amini uses her signature style of humor and heart to share her most vulnerable story yet.
