Helpful Score: 1

Wonderful story of hardship and survival. The son records the life of his mother as Jewish white woman married to a black man. Her family disowns her, her husband dies young and she ends up raising 12 children on her own, in a world that doesn't truly accept her or the mixed children. All who go on to college, become professional successful people. Along with the mothers story is the son's story as well, he is coming of age not certain where he belongs. EXCELLENT read!
