520    "On a hot day in Bethlehem, a twelve-year-old Palestinian-
       American girl is yelled at by a group of men outside the 
       Church of the Nativity. She has exposed her legs in a 
       biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their 
       judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our 
       narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, 
       her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 
       'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in 
       vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East-
       -from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina 
       Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress 
       from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer"
