Ayesha dribbles through Texas, dodging prejudice as a Muslim-American teen.

Decades earlier, her teen grandmother fled the fields of 1947 India during the violent Partition.

Bound by struggle across generations, both must reclaim who they are or be lost to a world coming undone.

ALL MY RAGE X BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM but with 🏀

In a brown household where becoming a doctor is the only dream allowed, Ayesha secretly chases hers—basketball. But when her bitter rival makes the team too, she must choose: play together or lose it all.

Ayesha, a baller in the heart of Texas, faces backlash for being Muslim-American. Bano, a farmgirl in India, is ripped from her family as her homeland is torn in two. Pulled apart by a fractured world across generations, both must wrestle with how to stay whole when broken. #DVpit #YA
