"The Color of Water" tells the amazing story of Ruth McBride Jordan's life from two perspectives: her own and that of her son James, as he grew up with her, in alternating chapters. It's an easy and quick read, but a moving and complex story-- bittersweet, inspiring, and beautifully told. Something for everyone.
