Men’s Breakfast Club: a Novel of Brotherhood, Islam and the Black Experience

What happens when faith, fatherhood, and fractured dreams collide over coffee and confession?Welcome to the Men’s Breakfast Club—a quiet morning refuge where six Black Muslim men gather each week to eat, exhale, and wrestle with the truths that the world rarely lets them say out loud. Behind their laughter and barbershop banter are untold stories of broken marriages, spiritual awakenings, fatherhood fears, identity struggles, and dreams deferred.Set in the heart of an American city, The Men’s Breakfast Club is a powerful, character-driven novel that pulls back the curtain on what it means to be Black, Muslim, male, and emotionally vulnerable in a society that offers little room for softness or struggle. With unfiltered dialogue, rich cultural layers, and unforgettable personalities, this book offers more than just a story—it offers a mirror.From the imam who’s losing his grip to the new convert haunted by his past, each brother is a reflection of a larger conversation—about race, faith, family, and the quiet revolutions that start not in protests, but in honest conversations among friends.Perfect for readers of contemporary Black fiction, spiritual dramas, and emotionally grounded ensemble narratives.Pull up a seat. The breakfast table is set.But be warned: by the end of this book, you’ll never see masculinity—or manhood—the same way again.
