With her dad a Pakistani and her mother white Christian, Karen thinks she's not proper

white and doesn't quite fit in... anywhere. So she's made a choice: she's switching sides.

She's going to convert to Islam to try to find her true identity.

are replaced by family troubles, name- calling turns into physical fights and secrets are

unveiled.
