someone. Because memoirs are true stories, I also feel like many people can connect and relate to the characters more compared to characters in a fiction story. "The Color of Water" is inspiring, moving, and unforgettable. It is definitely a book I recommend for people of any gender, race, age and faith. As described on the cover, this story is "A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother." Because of this tribute people of all colors and faiths need to read this memoir; I have no doubts that no one will not connect with and love this story. McBride fluently breaks cultural barriers and expresses his and his mother's life stories in a way that can only be demonstrated when you read this book. Told through two voices, son's and mother's, the paired histories and rich experiences are beautifully set side by side making a strong statement at a time of racial polarization.

The Color of Water by James McBride
I love memoirs because each story is so unique and astonishing, and however shocking and unrealistic some events seem to be, in truth everything is real and has happened to someone. Because memoirs are true stories, I also feel like many people can connect and relate to the characters more compared to characters in a fiction story. "The Color of Water" is inspiring, moving, and unforgettable. It is definitely a book I recommend for people of any gender, race, age and faith. As described on the cover, this story is "A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother." Because of this tribute people of all colors and faiths need to read this memoir; I have no doubts that no one will not connect with and love this story. McBride fluently breaks cultural barriers and expresses his and his mother's life stories in a way that can only be demonstrated when you read this book. Told through two voices, son's and mother's, the paired histories and rich experiences are beautifully set side by side making a strong statement at a time of racial polarization.
