Description
A memoir of hope, faith and love, Samra Habib’s story begins with growing up as part of a threatened minority sect in Pakistan, follows their arrival in Canada as a refugee, and their escape from an arranged marriage at sixteen. When they realized they were queer, it was yet another way they felt like an outsider.
So begins a journey that takes them to the far reaches of the globe to uncover a truth that was within them all along. It shows how Muslims can embrace queer sexuality, and families can embrace change. A triumphant story of forgiveness and freedom, We Have Always Been Here is a rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt alone and a testament to the power of fearlessly inhabiting one’s truest self.
Triumphant and uplifting – a queer Muslim memoir about forgiveness and freedom.
