Hello all of you fantastic finders of information, etc.! I have been
wracking my brain, Amazon, Google, etc.trying to find this.
Does anyone remember when The Color of Water by James McBride came out,
there was another book like it of a tribute to a biracial mother/son
relationship? I can't remember the name, but the author's name might be
Mark.
Thanks for your help! Julie A. Roberts [removed]@rolling-meadows.lib.il.us

I found a couple of titles that sound about right in our catalog:

Lazarre, Jane. Beyond the Whiteness of Whiteness: memoir of a White mother
of Black sons
Durham, NC: Duke University Press, copyright 1996.

Minerbrook, Scott. Divided to the vein: a journey into race and family.
New York: Harcourt Brace, copyright 1996.

This rang a bell with me but I didn't really recognize either of these
titles.

Sharon & Jean, Thanks for your answers, but this isn't it. I think I will
try to go back to PW & LJ for the original reviews, because they were
reviewed together. I am pretty sure that the other author's name is Mark
or Michael. I want to put them on my Black History Month display, along
with The Color of Water and other biographies, etc. Julie A. Roberts

Life on the Color Line by Greg Williams came out around the same time as
Color of Water. Could that be it?

This may be completely off track, but I keep thinking of Mark
Mathabane. He is a black South African and wrote about his interracial
marriage in "Love in Black and White". Like I say, maybe totally wrong

Well, Barbara, this is getting closer. I thought of him also, but it's
another Mark that wrote the other book about his mother. I will soon be
checking old PWs and LJs for the original review that had both books.

This is not exactly about a biracial mother/son relationship, but have you
tried Life on the Color Line by Gregory Williams? It is about a boy raised
by a white mother and a black father who passes as white.
