Search - The Color of Water : A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother

I loved this book. It was very emotional. The author experienced so much conflict about his racial identity. He did not learn about his mother's past until he started researching the book. The story is amazing.

An interesting read in the manner of how the author writes every other chapter in the voice of his mother. She is an non complicated person who against many odds manages to raise 12 children to responsible adulthood. Easy to read, a nice summer book.

This memoir of a man trying to find his identity as a mixed race man, really hit home because my friend's son is mixed race and it reminded me of him. It simply tells of his life and how he tried to identify with both of his races and the struggle to fit in. The book told the story from his mother's point of view and also from his.

Read this for a book club. Glad I did this was an amazing story.

This is one of my favorite memoirs. Well written, interesting and inspiring.

Helps one understand just a little bit about race in America.
