At the height of The Troubles in Ireland, religion determines who you are and where you can go. Zippy just wants to be normal, but she’s the only Jewish girl at the only pluralistic school in Belfast, caught between friends who are both Catholic and Protestant. Her parents want her to prepare for her bat mitzvah; her friends want her to choose sides. No one understands she just wants to be herself. Zippy just wants to be Belfast kind.
