***
Diaz hates talking- blame it on her trauma. People mistake her silence for submission. And it is only when she fights back and bears her claws that people realize she is not to be messed with.

When she was twelve, Rachel's parents found her diary, where she had written about a dream in which she had kissed a beautiful girl. After a long talk, Rachel promised to be a good Muslim and never act on her unnatural inclinations. Her promise lasts until Diaz transfers to her high school. Silent, androgynous and drop-dead gorgeous, Diaz's sudden appearance throws a wrench into Rachel's plans, and as she gets closer to Diaz, Rachel wonders if there's more to life than being a good Muslim.
