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.
