“I hated people sometimes! Not all people of course–just the ones who thought they were more than what they really were.” Those are the words of Sarah, a fearless and deeply perceptive girl who didn’t like phonies and bullies. Sarah questions everything. “What is wrong with being an immigrant, anyway? Why is it so hard for some people to be fair? Why does it feel like the world wants good people to stay hidden?” Grounded in common sense, she tries to navigate a world that often feels confusing. The love of her family and wisdom from her quirky grandmother is Sarah’s saving grace. When a bullying incident at school pushes her over the edge, Sarah discovers a mystical land that is very different from the one that she knows, where the rules of the real world no longer apply and peace is finally possible. Then without warning, tragedy strikes, shattering everything she thinks she understands. As grief and reality collide, Sarah must find courage and embrace the unbreakable strength that has been within her all along.
