Zara and her family are about to get their green cards. At least, until a racist incident threatens the process. This was such an authentic look at the immigration process in the US and how it can change at the flip of a switch, even if you did everything right. I think it can be really eye opening for people who don't know much about the immigration process (like me). I also appreciated that Zara's queerness wasn't the main plot driving point. A quick read, but packed with so much great stuff!
Graphic: Gun violence, Hate crime, Racism, Xenophobia, Islamophobia
