From the Back Cover :
”James McBride grew up one of twelve siblings in an all-black housing project, the son of a black minister and a woman who would not admit she was white.…Around her narrative, James McBride has written a powerful portrait of growing up, a meditation on race and identity, and a poignant, beautifully crafted hymn from a son to his mother.””
