Professional wrestling super fandom, Ontario's endlessly unfurling 401 highway, late nights at the convenience store listening to heavy metal - for writer and podcast host Elamin Abdelmahmoud, these are the building blocks of a life. This memoir charts that life in wise, funny, and moving reflections - yearning to belong in a time and place where expectation and assumptions around race, faith, language, and origin make such belonging extremely difficult, but it's also a story of the surprising and unexpected ways in which connection and acceptance can be found.
