Who Am I?

Finding yourself isn't cute. It's messy. And it's a journey we all must take. This is Tania's story.

Sahira Dharamshi’s coming-of-age YA novel explores the powerful and often confusing journey of discovering who you are in a world where others constantly tell you who you should be. In Who Am I?, we follow Tania, who has always felt like the odd one out – never quite fitting in at school, at home, or even in her own body. She questions her identity, her place, and her worth. But something important has been lost, buried, or locked away. As secrets surface and long-held truths unravel, Tania must find the courage to follow the path towards understanding herself and fully embracing self-acceptance. Who Am I? addresses the relentless pressures on teenagers: social media, expectations to look perfect, constantly achieve, and meet family demands, all while quietly facing anxiety, self-doubt, and other mental health struggles. Readers will recognise themselves in her doubts, her fears, and her remarkable courage.
