Description

Interwoven with sociopolitical commentary on Somalia, Europe, and Canada, the story of this gay Muslim immigrant is told in a refreshing new voice.
Kidnapped by his father on the eve of Somalia’s societal implosion, Mohamed “Mo” Ali was taken first to the Netherlands by his stepmother, and then on to Canada. With its promise of freedom, opportunity, and multiculturalism, his new home seemed to offer a new lease on life. But unable to fit in, he turned to partying and drugs.
