Far Tune

"Far Tune is a work of fiction which tells the story of Fartun Hashi, a fourteen-year-old Somali refugee girl living in Columbus, Ohio. Fartun grew up in the Dadaab Refugee Camp in Kenya until the age ten, when she and her older brother and father moved to London, England, where they lived for two years. As the story opens, Fartun is about to begin her 9th grade year at private girls high school. It is told in three volumes (Autumn, Winter, and Spring). Some of the events that transpire within the larger story arc include becoming best friends with a girl named Bea at her new school, patching things up with her Somali friends from her old school, joining and being an important member of her high school soccer team, participating in spoken word events, acting as a kind of surrogate parent to her older brother, clashing with her father over various subjects."--From author's website.
