Not even her son knew the answer to that question until he embarked on a twelve-year journey that changed himself and his family forever. Born Rachel Deborah Shilsky, she began life as the daughter of an angry, failed orthodox Jewish rabbi in the South. To escape her unhappy childhood, Ruth ran away to Harlem, married a black man, became Baptist and started an all- black church. Her son James tells of growing up with inner confusions, chaos, and financial hardships; of his own flirtation with drugs and violence; of the love and faith his mother gave her twelve children; and of his belated coming to terms with her Jewish heritage. The result is a powerful portrait of growing up, a meditation on race and identity, and apoignant, beautifully crafted hymn from a son to his mother. 538 Requires OverDrive Media Console (WMA file size: 98478 KB; MP3 file size: 192942 KB). 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 McBride-Jordan, Ruth,|d1921-2010. 600 10 McBride, James,|d1957- 650 0 Racially mixed people|zNew York (State)|zNew York |vBiography.|vSound recordings. 650 0 Mothers|zNew York (State)|zNew York|vBiography.|vSound recordings. 650 0 White people|zNew York (State)|zNew York|vBiography. |vSound recordings. 650 0 Racially mixed people|xRace identity|zNew York (State) |zNew York.|vSound recordings. 651 0 New York (N.Y.)|vBiography. 655 7 Audiobooks.|2lcgft 700 1 Braugher, Andre. 700 1 Kazan, Lainie. 776 1 |cOriginal|z9781597770880|w(OCoLC)67612888 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/|zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby
