Book Review: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother
Summary: 5 Stars
Why does a young Jewish woman who immigrated from Poland and spent her early life in rural Virginia move to an all-black neighborhood in New York City and deny that she's white? James McBride, her eighth child, finds that his life is full of such unanswered questions. "The Color of Water" is a sensitive and insightful book that chronicles a young biracial man's journey through both a troubled adolescence and the mystery that is his past. "Life on the Color Line" by G. Williams is a must-read on this topic, too
