Sub-title: A Black Man's Tribute to his White Mother
I'd read the recent book by McBride, The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store - James McBride and that led me to this most well-known of his stories. He tells of his Orthodox Jewish mother's experience of the lost of her two husbands, raising 12 children and seeing those children all get through college and successful careers. He goes back and forth between his own story of growing up and his mother's recollections of her own life, a story he did not discover until he pursued her history.
The book became a classic and award winner. A wonderful read, a touching tribute from a son to his mother.
