\nSummary pro vided by the publisher:
\nGrowing up in the San Fernando Valley with his two brothers\, all K wants is to be "a boy from L.A.\," all American. But K&mdash\;the youngest\, named after a Persian king&mdash\;knows there &rsquo\;s something different about himself. Like the way he feels about h is closest friend\, Johnny\, a longing that he can&rsquo\;t share with any one.
\nAt home\, K must navigate another confusing identity: that of the dutiful son of Iranian immigrants struggling to make a life for thems elves 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 mos que with Baba\, whose violent affections distort K&rsquo\;s understanding of what it means to be a man and how to love.
\nWhen Baba takes the three brothers from their mother back to Iran\, K finds himself in an ance stral 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.
