Coming of Age
A powerful, heart-wrenching story of four students who find hope and kinship amid the challenges of growing up at a harrowing Madrasa in rural Ontario
Nabil is struggling to find his place at Al Haque Islamic Academy. Between the intense religious studies and new rules, he longs for his past life of baseball, video games, comic books and girls. When he stumbles upon Maaz and Nawaaz doing something they shouldn't, he quickly falls into their company and joins their misdeeds. Together with new transfer student and unruly class clown Farid, the group feels complete.
One night, while exploring the Madrasa's hidden corners, the boys discover the diary of a student who lived on the grounds when it was an all-girls Catholic school. Her words connect them to a bygone era and inspire them to hatch a plot to escape. Their ultimate decision sends them hurtling down a path that will change their lives forever.
Strikingly original, and as poignant as it is humorous, Land of No Regrets is a compassionate exploration of faith, friendship, identity and the true meaning of freedom.
