No Ashes in the Fire
By Darnell L. Moore
256 pages
Stranded in the urban battleground of Camden, New Jersey,
amid "trash-lined corners, vacant lots, graffiti-tagged buildings,"
Moore struggles against a crush of bullying, bigotry, and self-loathing. He
chronicles his odyssey in this piercingly vulnerable memoir, ultimately finding
his way to LGBTQ activism and "black joy" through faith and family.
