whats up with her face.. anywho... the book was wonderfully written and james mcbride's story, laid side by side with his mother's story, was just inspirational. From the autobiography, you can clearly see that Ruth McBride was a great person, and that played a role in her raising twelve successful children. Although u cant always say that successful children automatically gives the parent credit and labels the parent as a good one, in this case, you can. i applaud the mcbride family.

It's mine too and, after reading the book for at least ten times since I first purchased it, I finally sent a Thank You to James McBride this week. I was thrilled to receive a personal reply but saddened to learn, this morning , that Ruth passed away in Jan 2010. What a legacy she left the world.

With the exception of  All Quiet On The Western Front, this is the best book I've ever read
