Twelve-year old Yaas is born into a divided family: Her father is the son of wealthy Iranian Jews, integrated into the country’s upper-class, mostly Muslim elite; her mother was raised in the slums of South Tehran. As her parents’ marriage begins to crumble and the country moves closer to revolution, Yaas is plagued by a terrifying illnerss and is determined to save herself and her family.
