The Color of Water (memoir blog)

As of now, I am not quite fully into my memoir yet. I have started the book, and discovered the minor details, such as the fact that it takes place in Queens, New York. I have also already learned the premis of the story; it is about a young black child growing up in a mostly black neighborhood, but he has a white mother. All 11 of his siblings are black, or as his mother describes it as "mixed", and as of now his only wonder is why and how his mother is different form everyone else that he sees. That might turn out to be search throughout the memoir.
