To the best of my knowledge Born Confused was the first book with a US female teen desi heroine that was one of the reasons my publisher wanted it, and it is certainly one of the reasons I wrote it – it was, and is, important to me that a young South Asian American have a voice, and that it be heard and read by people of all backgrounds and ages. "I hadn't read any books I could recall with a South Asian American teen protagonist. Hidier wrote Born Confused in 2000/2001, drawing "largely from autobiography." First published in the United Kingdom on October 1, 2002, it was later released in the United States on July 1, 2003. It does not store any personal data.Born Confused is a 2002 young adult novel by Tanuja Desai Hidier about an Indian-American girl growing up in New Jersey.
