Summary |
When aspiring artist Deena's anxiety reaches a breaking point, both she and her mother learn the importance of asking for help, and that, with the right support, she can create something truly beautiful. |
|
"Deena dreams of being an artist--maybe even a great one like her favorite painter, Van Gogh. She knows her mom wants her to focus on school and working toward a practical career, especially since money is an issue in her family. Deena overhears her parents fighting over finances at night and sees her mom struggle with her home business, selling Pakistani clothes to the local aunties. When Deena discovers a way to help her mom's business and pursue her artistic passions, she doesn't hesitate, even if it means venturing onto social media. With a little help from her cousin and best friend, Parisa, Deena soon starts sharing her own artwork online as well. Buty when her relationship with her art--and with her cousin--begins to change, Deena grows increasingly anxious. How can she find her creative voice and draw the future that she wants for herself when everything is spinning out of control?" -- Jacket. |
