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

5.0

A heartbreaking memoir from a gay black man in Camden, NJ who tells an excellent and honest story of his life. Born to teenage parents, Darnell suffers through poverty, racism, classism, and homophobia. He grows up to be an advocate to those around him, preaching love and acceptance. A great book. I listened to it told by the author and loved it all the more hearing him get to tell his own story. Would recommend to anyone.
