Some moments define us. Others destroy us.
For Ahmed , life has been a series of escapes-leaving Egypt after his career fell apart, leaving Dubai when his marriage crumbled, leaving behind a son who deserved a better father. Now, in Vancouver, he's out of places to run.
At thirty-six, Ahmed is unemployed, emotionally exhausted, and haunted by the wreckage of his past. Then comes a call he never expected-his son, Youssef, in trouble. His ex-wife urging him to return. And suddenly, every choice he's made is staring him in the face, demanding an answer.
This isn't just about going back.
It's about The Reckoning.
A moment that forces Ahmed to face the ghosts of his past-the people he's hurt, the bridges he's burned, the man he's become. Will he fight for redemption, or will he prove to himself-and everyone else-that he was never meant to stay?
A powerful, introspective novel about guilt, forgiveness, and the price of starting over.
