The Tyrant's Daughter

â€œFilled with political intrigue and emotional tension, Carlesonâ€™s riveting novel features a teenage refugee caught in a web of deceit and conspiracy.â€ â€”PW, starred review
Â
When her father is killed in a coup, Laila and her mother and brother leave their war-torn homeland for a fresh start in the suburbs of Washington, D.C.
Â
At her new high school, Laila makes mistakes, makes friends, and even meets a boy who catches her eye. But this new life brings unsettling facts to light. The American newspapers call her father a brutal dictator and suggest that her familyâ€™s privilege came at the expense of innocent lives. Meanwhile, her mother would like nothing more than to avenge his death, and sheâ€™ll go to great lengths to regain their position of power.
Â
As an international crisis takes shape around her, Laila is pulled in one direction, then another, but thereâ€™s no time to sort out her feelings. She has to pick a side now, and her decision will affect not just her own life, but countless others. . . .

Inspired by the author's experience as a CIA officer in Iraq and Syria, this book is as timely as it is relevant.
