BROWN GIRL EPIPHANY by arushi (aera) rege

About the book: BROWN GIRL EPIPHANY is centered around the experience of being a queer, first-gen Indian-American, struggling with balancing identity and cultural background. It discusses the experiences of not knowing whether you're good enough in your own skin, the struggle of reconciling your culture and your heritage to your identity and the area you live in, the gap between what you do and what you mean, love across different cultures, and the struggle of being another brown person in the desert.
