Summary When Nadima's father uproots the family to move across the country, she and her twin brother Dastaan are angry and resentful. Navigating the drama of high school with all of its anxieties and insecurities is a highly charged emotional time in the life of a teen. Add to that the constant tension created by an ultra-traditional religious father who does not tolerate behavior that he believes brings shame on the family. When a devilishly charming boy named Donald takes Nadima under his wing on the first day of school, she is thrown into a world of which her controlling parents would never approve. Enter Jack, who has his own family issues. He is the product of a broken home with a father who is a drunk, a brawler and a womanizer. In spite of his issues, Jack is a good guy. He knows that Donald is a lowlife with no respect for the girls he dates. Jack begins to develop feelings for Nadima and believes Donald is leading her down a dark road. Things come to a head when Nadima is gang raped at a local hangout. Jack rescues her and blames Donald. Jack and Nadima develop a strong connection though their worlds begin to spiral out of control. Sadly, Nadima loses both Jack and her brother Dastaan. In the end, all she has left are a collection of photographs, a sketch pad... and a baby who bears the name of the boy who captured her heart.
