About this item

At thirteen, bright-eyed, straight-A student Sara Saedi uncovered a terrible family secret: she was breaking the law simply by living in the United States. Only two years old when her parents fled Iran, she didn't learn of her undocumented status until her older sister wanted to apply for an after-school job, but couldn't because she didn't have a Social Security number.



About the Author

Sara Saedi

I am a sucker for anything coming of age. If Pretty in Pink is on TV, there's a good chance I'll stop everything to watch it. I proudly binge watch shows on The CW, and I also write for one (iZombie!) I've written two YA novels about teenagers (Never Ever and the Lost Kids) , and a memoir about being an undocumented Iranian teenager growing up in the states (Americanized) . Despite all of that, I'm regularly reminded of my age when I meet people who've never heard of Angela Chase and don't remember a time when MTV played music videos. 90s nostalgia is a real thing, people.Visit my website and get in touch with me at www.sarasaediwriter.com or @saaaranotsarah
