(4) YA Samar is taunted for being a "coconut": "brown on the outside, white on the inside." Meanwhile, her mother refuses to talk about Samar's grandparents or their Sikh heritage. Soon after September 11, Samar's uncle appears, and her world grows more confusing, more threatening--and richer. Though the dialogue is a bit clumsy, Samar's story effectively reveals the importance of family and identity.
