Red, White and Whole by Rajani LaRocca
Some days, Reha wonders just how she can navigate between her mother's expectations that she hold true to what her mom believes is a true Indian girl, and just being an American kid. In middle school, it seems harder than ever to find the right path, even with what to wear to school. But then something happens that makes Reha feel closer to her mother and wondering if she has to chose.
