Exile of the Heart is a deeply moving and lyrical memoir by journalist Rasheed Abou-Elsamh, chronicling a lifelong search for belonging across borders, languages, and faiths.
Born into a diplomatic family, Rasheed grew up in Geneva and Bras璱ia, suspended between cultures, cosmopolitan yet rootless, privileged yet unsure of where home truly was. His story unfolds through vivid, intimate vignettes that reveal the beauty and ache of living between worlds.
From quiet family moments shadowed by unspoken truths to the loneliness of exile and the freedom of self-discovery, Exile of the Heart captures what it means to find identity beyond geography or expectation.
Both tender and fearless, this memoir explores themes of faith, identity, displacement, and resilience, asking what it truly means to belong - and reminding readers that sometimes the truest home is the one we build within ourselves.
Rasheed writes about his family's arrival in Brasilia, Brazil, in 1975, and how they disliked the Brazilian capital, which was only 15 years old at the time.
He also writes about coming out to his parents in 1983, and how their homophobic and violent reaction to this revelation led to decades of estrangement.
