Helpful Score: 1

I highly recommend this book to everyone of any color or race. It is not just a book about race, its also about family, faith, poverty and struggling to overcome. This is an amazing book which tells two stories, that of the authors mother and his own. Its a touching story about a bi-racial family who succeeded and achieved the American dream despite everything as well as an extraordinary story about a remarkable womans life and the struggles and hardships she endures and overcomes. It flows seamlessly back and forth between the author and his mother, between time periods and generations until, before you know it, it's over. I hated to reach the end.
