Safia Dirie is a teenage girl living in East London with her mother, Hoyo, and two older brothers, Ahmed and Abdullahi. Though she was born in Somalia, she doesnât really remember it â Safiaâs a London girl, through and through. But now, after 12 long years, her father, Abo, has returned to the family from war-torn Mogadishu. Safia knew things would change, but nothing could have prepared her for the reality of dealing with Aboâs cultural expectations. Or that Ahmed, her favorite brother, would start to run wild. And she herself certainly didnât expect to find her cousin Firdousâ party-girl lifestyle so tempting. Safia must come to terms with who she is â as a Muslim, as a teenager, as a poet, as a friend, but most of all, as a daughter to a father sheâs never known. Rooted in Somali and Muslim life, this poignant and beautifully written novel about one girlâs quest to find her own place in the world strikes a chord with young readers everywhere.
