After Zohran Mamdani wins the New York City mayoral election, sixteen-year-old Arab American student Amir Ashraf finally feels seen. Inspired, he decides to run for school president—hoping to represent students who’ve never had a voice. But New York, even in progress, still holds shadows of prejudice. When Hayim Katz, a kind yet skeptical Jewish student, volunteers as his campaign manager, an unlikely friendship blossoms. Their collaboration becomes something deeper: a quiet love caught between communities, expectations, and the whispers of intolerance. Join Best-Selling Author C.C. Black in this story about courage, compassion, and the radical act of loving across fear.
