What a dysfunctional family...and yet a son wants to pay tribute to a mother who did everything the "wrong way". This woman renounced her birth family, her heritage, engaged in a forbidden interracial relationship, travelled far from her community, had an unconventional relationship that looked like no marriage on TV, had dubious child rearing practices, less than admirable housekeeping skills and practically scammed ways for getting her kids into better schools and money for education. This is the mother the author wants to remember? And all the kids managed to make successes of themselves in some way shape or form. Some people in the book club felt that the story was not worth telling. They say that every family has members who face adversity and succeed in spite of them. This may be true but I also think that there are too many people making excuses about why they don't succeed and what obstacles they had to face and whoa is me. This story gave insight to a strong woman who had real losses in her life including the loss of identity, loss of community, loss of a conventional life. These are kids who were caught in the middle of racial tension, not really knowing which race laid claim to them. And yet despite all this, mom kept them together, giving them a "home base" and the resourcefulness to not only survive but to excel. In a way I wish Mr. McBride had not used the subtitle based on racial descriptors. I think this sensationalizes the story. Although race plays an important part in the story it should not be boiled down to this.
