Through Rain and Silence

Against all odds they stood for justice truth and love.When lawyer Edward Bird is called to defend the passengers of the Komagata Maru he steps into the heart of a battle that will test the soul of a nation. Activist Husain Rahim risks everything to expose injustice while visionary leader Gurdit Singh dares to guide 376 Indian passengers on a voyage for dignity hope and belonging. Amidst the roar of public outrage and the cold machinery of exclusion two lives quietly converge-Saproon a Sikh immigrant navigating the weight of cultural expectations and exile and Fortuna an English teacher whose own history carries the scars of displacement and inherited survival. In a world fractured by race religion and power their love takes root-not in defiance but in deep recognition. What begins as a cautious friendship grows into something undeniable a quiet rebellion of tenderness in a time of division. Set against one of the most powerful true events in Canadian history this is a story of law and justice of subjects and empire-and of a love that quietly defies the world around it. In the margins of history Saproon and Fortuna find something rare and enduring: a connection that crosses boundaries of faith race and circumstance. Their bond born in a time of fear and resistance becomes a quiet act of revolution. This is a story of courage hope and the belief that even in the harshest conditions friendship and love can take root-and last.
