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

5.0

I love a good memoir, and this one was especially good. The echoes of [b:All About Love: New Visions|17607|All About Love New Visions|bell hooks|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1387754966l/17607._SY75_.jpg|270045] were loud and clear, and Moore did a very nice job of contextualizing his stories, using them to develop a broader vision of Black and queer liberation, and maintaining a sense of ongoing growth and honesty about his path. All that plus it was a quick and easy read. Nice!
