From poverty to persecution, from faith to fire—this is a life the IRS couldn’t audit.
In I IRS (My Hell of Life), James M. Moten delivers an unfiltered memoir of survival, racism, and spiritual endurance. Born in Crockett, Texas, and raised amid the cruel realities of segregation and poverty, Moten’s story begins where most would end—with tragedy. From the “Texas Inferno,” where systemic racism and violence took lives without justice, to the “House of Horrors” in Tucson, where hunger and hardship forged his resilience, every chapter reveals the making of a man shaped by pain but sustained by purpose.
Through the voice of lived experience, Moten recounts a life haunted by loss yet guided by angels—his unshakeable faith in God serving as his compass through every trial. His journey through La Reforma, a turbulent housing project he dubs the “Racial World War III,” exposes the raw reality of American division and the strength it takes to rise above it. Eventually, his path leads to the IRS—an unlikely battlefield where racism takes on institutional form, and perseverance becomes rebellion.
Moten’s life story mirrors the emotional gravity of works like The Autobiography of Malcolm X and Between the World and Me—but it stands apart in its candor. His words pierce with both pain and perseverance, turning his autobiography into a testament of divine protection and human grit.
"A raw and unflinching memoir of survival, resilience, and faith against unimaginable odds." - MainSpring Books
This is not just the story of an IRS agent—it’s the chronicle of a man who wrestled hell and lived to tell the truth.
A journey through suffering, faith, and redemption—I IRS (My Hell of Life) is proof that survival is its own kind of grace.
