No Ashes in the Fire: Coming of Age Black and Free in America by Darnell L. Moore

4.0

This book was an excellent picture into someone’s life that couldn’t be farther than my own. It was a vulnerable, eye opening, and empathetic share of the life of a gay black man growing up in a “changing but still the same” America. At points I did feel that there were moments of some deviation, and a bit of meandering, but ultimately even in those instances the book finds its way back with strong purpose.
