Sonya Schoenberg dreamed of someday becoming a famous actress, but instead, a hapless one-time tryst with a Muslim man landed her the lifetime role of single mother. Sonya tries to keep her dream alive through her “stage daughter,” Razia, a precocious pre-teen enrolled in a competitive performing arts school. But Raz prefers drawing to drama and has no problem defying her mom to get what she wants—be it piercing her own ears, doing a dumb dare, or hunting down her so-called “sperm donor” dad. While Sonya struggles to keep a tenuous hold over rebellious Raz, Aziz (the father of two in an arranged marriage) follows a script all his own trying to convert his newfound daughter to Islam. A mother's mistrust, a father's faith, and a daughter's determination, collide in this witty and powerful story of healing, forgiveness, and family.
