The Color of Water : A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother
georgesdaisygirl avatar reviewed on


I randomly picked this book up one day and began reading it....I found myself reading while standing in one place so long that I was lost in the author's story. His life is SO different then my own yet I felt a strong family connection to his. I couldn't put his story down and felt at the end of it that I knew him. I felt as though I belonged to his family and I loved his mother. I sent him an email letting him know how his life story affected me...and he replied! James McBride said he would pass on the love I sent to his mother, she would be glad to hear about it!
Wonderful Read!!
