Synopsis
James McBride's mother, Ruth, was a woman of immense strength and determination. She navigated a world that didn't understand her, raising twelve children in Brooklyn while hiding a secret about her own past. This memoir, told partly in her own words, explores her journey from rural Virginia to Harlem and her founding of an all-black church.
