Description - The Importance Of Wings by Robin Friedman

In 1980s New York, eighth-grader Roxanne misses her mother and struggles with her Israeli-American identity and her father's long hours.

Roxanne (Ravit) Ben-Ari is an Israeli immigrant girl looking to fit in. An evangelist for TV reruns like Wonder Woman, The Brady Bunch, and Little House on the Prairie. Roxanne is desperate to emulate all-American TV girls.

But things change when Liat moves in nearby, and Liat's self-confidence enables Roxanne to embrace her own unique identity.
