Wall Book Club Discussion

Wall Book Club Discussion: Color of Water: A Black Man’s Tribute to His White Mother by James McBride. This book is a touching tribute to the author's mother. Two memoirs describe growing up interracial from the perspective of the sons of African American fathers and white mothers. McBride focuses on a rabbi's daughter who later helped her husband establish an all-black Baptist church in her home and saw 12 children through college. His mother's own story, juxtaposed with McBride's, helps make this book a standout. 

The Wall Book Club welcomes new members to stop by and join the group for some lively and interesting discussions every third Thursday of the month in the Meeting Room. Monthly selection titles are available at the circulation desk or bring along your own copy.
