The Hyde Park Headsman by Anne Perry
Sixteen-year-old Samar--aka Sam--is an Indian American teenager whose mom has kept her away from her old-fashioned family. It's never bothered Sam, who is busy with school, friends, and a demanding boyfriend. But things change after 9/11. A guy in a turban shows up at Sam's house--and turns out to be her uncle. He wants to reconcile the family and teach Sam about her Sikh heritage. She is eager to learn, but when boys attack her uncle, shouting Go home Osama Sam realizes she could be in danger--and just how dangerous ignorance is.
A fine-mannered shocker.--The New York Times Book Review
