ABOUT WE
ARE ALL WE HAVE
Seventeen-year-old Rania is shaken awake in her family's
apartment in Brooklyn. ICE is at the door, taking her mother away. But
Ammi has done everything right, hasn’t she? Their asylum case is fine.
This was supposed to be Rania’s greatest summer: hanging
out with her best friend, Fatima, and getting ready for college in the
fall.
But it’s 2019, and nothing is certain.
Now, along with her younger brother, Kamal, and a new
friend, Carlos, Rania must figure out how to survive. A road trip leads
to searching for answers to questions she didn’t even think to ask.
In this vivid exploration of what happens when the
country you have put your hopes into is fast shutting down,
award-winning author Marina Budhos shows us how one girl bursting with
dreams navigates secrets, love, and the lure of the open road.
