We have always been here : a queer Muslim memoir / by Habib, Samra,author.;
"A queer Muslim searches for the language to express her truest self, making peace with her sexuality, her family, and Islam. Growing up in Pakistan, Samra Habib lacks a blueprint for the life she wants. She has a mother who gave up everything to be a pious, dutiful wife and an overprotective father who seems to conspire against a life of any adventure. Plus, she has to hide the fact that she's Ahmadi to avoid persecution from religious extremists. As the threats against her family increase, they seek refuge in Canada, where new financial and cultural obstacles await them. When Samra discovers that her mother has arranged her marriage, she must again hide a part of herself -- the fun-loving, feminist teenager that has begun to bloom -- until she simply can't any longer. So begins a journey of self-discovery that takes her to Tokyo, where she comes to terms with her sexuality, and to a queer-friendly mosque in Toronto, where she returns to her faith in the same neighbourhood where she attended her first drag show. Along the way, she learns that the facets of her identity aren't as incompatible as she was led to believe, and that her people had always been there -- the world just wasn't ready for them yet"--

The beautiful dream : a memoir / by Hutchinson, Atiba,author.;
"Out of the Toronto suburb of Brampton comes an irresistible story of trials, perseverance, the limelight of professional and international soccer, and -- above all -- heart. Despite debuting on Canada's senior national soccer team 20 years ago, scarce is known of Atiba Hutchinson. We've watched him win Canadian Men's Player of the Year six times; celebrated his club team championships; and mourned his injuries. We've lamented the state of Canadian soccer and cursed the lost potential -- and years. Yet, we know not of Atiba's personal life, or how he rose from small-town (and not soccer-crazy) Brampton to becoming Canada's most-capped national men's team player. For the first time, Atiba is ready to share the extraordinary story of his ascent to the heights of professional soccer, nationally and internationally, and what he believes makes a true champion. The Beautiful Dream is an intimate account of Atiba's awe-inspiring career, from his humble beginnings to playing across Europe; the crushing disappointment of failing national team competitions in the 2010s that nearly lead to his resignation from the national program; all the way to his triumphant arrival in Qatar to face off against 31 other nations at the world's most pre-eminent soccer competition. He has strived to better not only his own game but the landscape of Canadian soccer for over two decades, culminating in Canada's first trip to the FIFA World Cup since 1986. Yet, as the reflective midfielder shows, this isn't just his story: The Beautiful Dream is the story of countless Canadians, who strive and scrape for a seemingly unreachable dream -- until their fingertips finally graze the surface. Atiba's journey mirrors the progression of Canadian soccer, and the story of Canada itself: dreams that may begin as outsized but as we work towards them, our world changes with us. Hutchinson's journey of hope, belief, and resilience connects the country's modest soccer past to a bold, exciting future in the game. It's a story that transcends the pitch, exploring what it means to be a kid who dares to dream of achieving the impossible, and the man who perseveres to get there."--
