From the author of Two from Isaac's House comes the story behind the story. Sixteen years after terrorists target Meira, she and her husband face their toughest task yet: telling their son a truth he'll hate. Tony Rasad has spent most of his young life in Lebanon as the Arab-American son of a university professor. Beirut's where he wants to be, running around, playing on the beach with his best friend. Instead, he's stuck at this lake house in upstate New York, preparing to go to prep school. The secret he learns will change everything. His parents, the liars, have been living under a cover so deep they never even told their only son who he is. Exposing their lies could cost them everything, including him.
