From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sabaa Tahir comes a brilliant, unforgettable, and heart-wrenching contemporary YA novel about family and forgiveness, love and loss, in a sweeping story that crosses generations and continents.Lahore, Pakistan. Then.
Misbah is a dreamer and storyteller, newly married to Toufiq in an arranged match. After their young life is shaken by tragedy, they come to the United States and open the Cloud's Rest Inn Motel, hoping for a new start.
Juniper, California. Now.
Salahudin and Noor are more than best friends; they are family. Growing up as outcasts in the small desert town of Juniper, California, they understand each other the way no one else does. Until The Fight, which destroys their bond with the swift fury of a star exploding.
Now, Sal scrambles to run the family motel as his mother Misbah's health fails and his grieving father loses himself to alcoholism. Noor, meanwhile, walks a harrowing tightrope: working at her wrathful uncle's liquor store while hiding the fact that she's applying to college so she can escape him-and Juniper-forever.
When Sal's attempts to save the motel spiral out of control, he and Noor must ask themselves what friendship is worth-and what it takes to defeat the monsters in their pasts and the ones in their midst.
From one of today's most cherished and bestselling young adult authors comes a breathtaking novel of young love, old regrets, and forgiveness-one that's both tragic and poignant in its tender ferocity.

chapter 1Misbah
June, then
Lahore, Pakistan
The clouds over Lahore were purple as a gossip s tongue the day my mother told me I would wed.
After she delivered the news, I found my father on the veranda. He sipped a cup of tea and surveyed the storm looming above the kite-spattered skyline.
Change her mind! I wanted to scream. Tell her I m not ready.
Instead, I stood at his side, a child again, waiting for him to take care of me. I did not have to speak. My father looked at me, and he knew.
Come now, little butterfly. He turned his moth-brown eyes to mine and patted my shoulder. You are strong like me. You will make the best of it. And at last, you ll be free of your mother. He smiled, only half joking.
The monsoon rain swept over Lahore a few minutes later, sending chickens and children squawking for cover, drenching the cement floor of our home. I bent my head to the ground in prayer regardless.
Let my future husband be gentle, I thought, remembering the bruises on my cousin Amna, who married a light-haired English businessman against her parents wishes.Let him be a good man.
I was eighteen. Full of fear. I should have prayed instead for a man unbroken.
chapter 2
Sal
February, now
Juniper, California
It s 6:37 a.m. and my father doesn t want me to know how drunk he is.
Sal? Are you listening?
He calls me Sal instead of Salahudin so I don t hear the slur in his words. Hangs on to our Civic s steering wheel like it s going to steal his wallet and bolt.

In the ink-black morning, all I see of Abu s eyes are his glasses. The taillights of traffic going into school reflect off the thick square lenses. He s had them so long that they re hipster now. A Mojave Desert howler shakes the car one of those three-day winds that rampage through your skin and colonize your ventricles. I hunch deep in my fleece, breath clouding.
I will be there, Abu says. Don t worry. Okay, Sal?
My nickname on his lips is all wrong. It s like by saying it, he s trying to make me feel like he s a friend, instead of a mess masquerading as my father.
If Ama were here, she would clear her throat and enunciate Sa-lah-ud-din, the precise pronunciation a gentle reminder that she named me for the famous Muslim general, and I better not forget it.
You said you d go to the last appointment, too, I tell Abu.
Dr. Rothman called last night to remind me, Abu says. You don t have to come, if you have the the writing club, or soccer.
Soccer season s over. And I quit the newspaper last semester. I ll be at the appointment. Ama s not taking care of herself and someone needs to tell Dr. Rothman preferably in a coherent sentence. I watch the words hit him, sharp little stones.
Abu guides the car to the curb in front of Juniper High. A bleached-blond head buried in a parka materializes from the shadows of C-hall. Ashlee. She saunters past the flagpole, through the crowds of students, and toward the Civic. The pale stretch of her legs is courageous for the twenty-degree weather.
Also distracting.
Ashlee is close enough to the car that I can see her purple nail polish. Abu hasn t spotted her. He and Ama never said I can t have a girlfriend. But in the same way that giraffes are born knowing how to run, I was born with the innate understanding that having a girlfriend while still living with my parents is verboten.
Abu digs his fingers into his eyes. Hi
