Lost Backpack, Found Love is a deeply personal memoir of survival, healing, and self-liberation.
From war-torn Lebanon to rebuilding life in Canada, Moe Akel shares an intimate journey through immigration, coming out as a queer Arab man, family loss, faith, trauma, chosen family, and the unexpected magic of love. What begins with a lost backpack in Paris unfolds into a powerful story of resilience, identity, and finding home within yourself.
Blending memoir with reflection, healing tools, and lived wisdom, this book is for anyone who has ever felt different, displaced, or told they must hide who they are to belong. It is a love letter to the queer community, to immigrants, to seekers, and to anyone learning to turn pain into purpose.
This is not just a story of survival, it is a story of becoming.
