Growing up in the San Fernando Valley with his two brothers, all K wants is to be āa boy from L.A.,ā all American. But Kāthe youngest, named after a Persian kingāknows thereās something different about himself. Like the way he feels about his closest friend, Johnny, a longing that he canāt share with anyone.
At home, K must navigate another confusing identity: that of the dutiful son of Iranian immigrants struggling to make a life for themselves in the United States. He tries to make his mother proud, live up to her ideal of a son. On Friday nights, K attends prayers at the local mosque with Baba, whose violent affections distort Kās understanding of what it means to be a man and how to love.
When Baba takes the three brothers from their mother back to Iran, K finds himself in an ancestral home he barely knows. Returning to the Valley months later, K must piece together who he is, in a world that now feels as foreign to him as the one he left behind.

Staring down the brutality of being a queer kid and a Muslim in America, Khashayar J. Khabushani transforms personal and national pain into an unforgettable and beautifully rendered exploration of youth, love, familyāand the stories that make us who we are.
