The Search for Us by Susan Azim Boyer

5.0

Samira and Henry unexpectedly that they're are half-siblings, and when the family members raising them won't tell them anything about their Iranian dad, they take matters into their own hands. At the same time, Samira's trying to get her addict brother into treatment and help with family finances, and Henry's being manipulated by his aunt and uncle into a life he doesn't want. I love that this is about family and sibling relationships, about codependency, about social strata, about racism, and about incarceration. The characters are solid and their journey feels real.
