Rating: 3/4 -- Deftly sidesteps the muckraking and instead serves up an affecting drama about a lovely child who can't seem to catch a break from most of the adults surrounding her. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

"Who are you?" Jasira Maroun's strict, Lebanese-born father asks. Jasira isn't sure. She's a typical 13-year-old. And an Arab-American who's anything but typical to folks in her Houston suburb. She's drawn to a boy at school. And to a hunky, married Army reservist neighbor. She's curious about sex. And clueless about relationships. Then all these "who are you"s collide in a series of fateful, emotional, frequently funny events, and Jasira's life changes forever.
