At age 13, Jasira lives with her mother, Gail, in upstate New York, but is then sent to live with her rigid, emotionally distant Lebanese father, Rifat, in Houston. Jasira, who is struggling with her emerging sexuality, finds herself subjected to the taunts of racist schoolmates, the sexual advances of her new boyfriend, Thomas, and the inappropriate yet titillating attentions of handsome, married neighbor Mr. Vuoso .
