The Color of Water : A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother
reviewed on + 80 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1


James McBride tells his story - a story about his life and that of his Mother - written in clear and not easy to put down words. James is black, as are his 11 brothers and sisters - his Mother is white. This is a true American Dream come true - and for all of the hope it gives, it is not saccharine. Highly recommended.
