Not even her son knew the answer to that question until he embarked on a twelve-year journey that changed himself and his family forever. Born Rachel Deborah Shilsky, she began life as the daughter of an angry, failed orthodox Jewish rabbi in the South. To escape her unhappy childhood, Ruth ran away to Harlem, married a black man, became Baptist and started an all-black church. Her son James tells of growing up with inner confusions, chaos, and financial hardships; of his own flirtation with drugs and violence; of the love and faith his mother gave her twelve children; and of his belated coming to terms with her Jewish heritage. The result is a powerful portrait of growing up, a meditation on race and identity, and apoignant, beautifully crafted hymn from a son to his mother. 600 10 $a McBride-Jordan, Ruth, $d 1921-2010. 600 10 $a McBride, James, $d 1957- 650 0 $a Racially mixed people $z New York $z New York $v Biography. 650 0 $a Mothers $z New York $z New York $v Biography. 650 0 $a Whites $z New York $z New York $v Biography. 650 0 $a Racially mixed people $x Race identity $z New York. $z New York. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $v Biography. 655 0 $a Audiobooks. 700 1 $a Braugher, Andre. 700 1 $a Kazan, Lainie. 776 1 $c Original $z 9781597770880 $w (OCoLC)67612888 856 40 $u http://wilbor.lib.overdrive.com/ContentDetails.htm?ID=A992ADE3-AD05-4CA3-A2FA-B5A3617E2FCD 856 4 $3 Excerpt $u http://excerpts.contentreserve.com/FormatType-25/1314-1/122726-TheColorOfWater.wma 941 $a 1 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20120110025442.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5FBE669E3B5A11E1B193F78C6AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b JINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
