Rani Kelkar has never lied to her parents, until she meets Oliver. The same qualities that draw her in—his tattoos, his charisma, his passion for art—make him her mother's worst nightmare.
They begin dating in secret, but when Oliver's troubled home life unravels, he starts to ask more of Rani than she knows how to give, desperately trying to fit into her world, no matter how high the cost. When a twist of fate leads Rani from Evanston, Illinois, to Pune, India, for a summer, she has a reckoning with herself—and what's really brewing beneath the surface of her first love.
Winner of SCBWI's Emerging Voices Award, Anuradha D. Rajurkar takes an honest look at the ways cultures can clash in an interracial relationship. Braiding together themes of sexuality, artistic expression, and appropriation, she gives voice to a girl claiming ownership of her identity, one shattered stereotype at a time.
"A brave, beautiful exploration of identity—those thrust upon us, and those we forge for ourselves." (Elana K. Arnold, award-winning author of What Girls Are Made Of)

"A bold coming-of-age piece that a lot of us, who have had to seamlessly merge two separate identities, can relate to.”–Buzzfeed
"American Betiya is a celebration of feminist allyship. Thoughtful and compelling, it is also a valuable conversation starter about cultural identity amid the complexities of sex, love, and respect."–The Bulletin
"Laser-focused prose will resonate with any teen reader who has been harassed for their brown skin, struggled with first love or borne the pressure of family expectations... impossible to read without tightness in your chest and your heart in your throat."—BookPage
