This summer I read the book The Color of Water and discussed the themes and issues of the story with my mom. In the Color of Water, McBride tells of his early years growing up in a household with 12 other children, his black father Dennis and his white mother Ruth. McBride goes into much detail on many of his hardships growing up in Harlem being a mulatto child. Although his mother and McBride were very close, she withheld much information about her troubled childhood from McBride as a child. In The Color of Water both childhoods are explained in depth and compared throughout the book.
