Description
Mia is still getting used to life with her mom and stepfather, and to the new role their Jewish identity plays in their home. Even after her bat mitzvah, she feels out of place at her Jewish day school, where she looks different from most of the other kids. Her mom doesn't want to talk about Mia's Muscogee father, who lives with his new family in Oklahoma—but Mia can't help but feel like she's missing a part of herself without him in her life.
Soon, Mia makes a plan to use the gifts from her bat mitzvah to take a bus to Oklahoma—without telling her mom—to visit her dad and find the connection to her Muscogee side she knows is just as important as her Jewish side.
In her poignant debut graphic novel inspired by her own life, Emily Bowen Cohen embraces the complexity, meaning, and deep love that come from being part of two vibrant tribes.
