The Color Of Water
The Color Of Water By: James McBride


When James was growing up he never saw the diffrences in his mother. Until one day he looked among the crowd and saw a diamond in the rough, his mother all of sudden was not the same she did not look like him or the other mothers(page 12). At this moment the first questions arise and the begging of a book. From page one to page two hundread and ninetyone I read the most inspiring story in my short young life. As I open up and see the Truth being set into motion a person so inspired by a corougous mother. The time so unresponsive with the daughter of an orthodox jewish rabbi falling in love with a black man.Life is a incrdible journey that few people can actually say they completed succesfully I find it so inspiring to know that a woman can bring up twelve incrdible children without any help of her family and with all the help from her god.The experince of having to deal with moving from to diffrent life styles to move to a city were you are no one and you have no one. What is to be expected from a jewish woman at a time that was nothing in the slighest to what she would do and what she would acomplish.she was a strong woman full of llife and character and we must not forget the spirit and strenght toward god.
