A Memoir on Vulnerability, Culture, and Coming of Age

Brian Broome's memoir Punch Me Up to the Gods sheds light on growing up as a gay Black boy in Ohio. Highlighting the awkward, tragic, and funny moments, this coming of age reveals themes that many can relate to. A broken family situation and escalating drug use brings home the relatable feelings of deep vulnerability in life. A poignant, funny, original, and sad story offers fresh voices and perspectives to culture and being Black in America.

This sounds like a very interesting memoir and I would be very interested in reading it since memoirs are one of my favorite genres.
