Historia
Samra Habib has spent most of their life searching for the safety to be themself. As an Ahmadi Muslim growing up in Pakistan, they faced regular threats from Islamic extremists who believed the small, dynamic sect to be blasphemous. From their parents, they internalized the lesson that revealing their identity could put them in grave danger.

I absolutely will never forget this book. This is absolutely a work of perfection that i believe everyone needs to read in their lifetime. This is such an important story and subject matter that everyone should be hearing and learning about. In almost every major religion we hear about queer people leaving the religion because they feel judged and misunderstood by people in their religion. We don’t hear enough of these stories from queer Muslims who may face the most discrimination for coming out to their Muslim community. I can’t say it enough that this story and others like it need to be heard and read and talked about. This book made me feel like I belong, I am queer and a former Christian so I felt a lot of fear about what would happen if I came out to the people at my church. This story made me feel like it’s ok to be who you are unapologetically, whether you stay in your religion or not. I have it 5 stars because it is a work of art and a very powerful story that would move someone even if they didn’t understand the repercussions of being queer in a predominantly hetero environment.
