My Basmati Bat Mitzvah by Paula Freedman

I loved the main character in this book.  Tara Feinstein is dealing with some pretty difficult questions.  (you all know how much I like difficult, thought provoking questions)  She is getting ready for her Bat Mitzvah (the Jewish ceremony that takes place when a girl turns 13...it's called Bar Mitzvah if it is a boy).  Tara is worried that if she has a Bat Mitzvah this will make her somehow Less Indian.  She tries to mesh the two together.  I just loved this book.  Most of us are a mish mash of cultures so we can probably all relate to Tara wanting to celebrate all her cultures.
