A PLACE FOR US A Memoir

LGBTQ+ activist Brandon J. Wolf narrates his heartbreaking yet hopeful memoir with graceful clarity and much tenderness. He recounts his childhood in rural Oregon, where he was the only Black person in his family, and his eventual move to Orlando, Florida, where he found a life-saving queer community. He goes into detail about the night of the Pulse club shooting, the overwhelming grief of losing his best friend, and the trauma of surviving something so horrific. His narration is emotional and raw--this is not an easy book to listen to. But what comes through most powerfully as he's describing those he lost and the work he does today is love. Though devastating, this is a love letter to queer family and queer friendships. A moving, impactful listen. L.S. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2023]
