The Color of Water : A Black Man's Tribute to His White
Mother
by James McBride
The Color of Water tells the remarkable story of Ruth McBride
Jordan, the two good men she married, and the 12 good children
she raised. Jordan, born Rachel Shilsky, a Polish Jew, immigrated
to America soon after birth; as an adult she moved to New
York City, leaving her family and faith behind in Virginia.
Jordan met and married a black man, making her isolation even
more profound. The book is a success story, a testament to
one woman's true heart, solid values, and indomitable will.
Ruth Jordan battled not only racism but also poverty to raise
her children and, despite being sorely tested, never wavered.
In telling her story--along with her son's--The Color of Water
addresses racial identity with compassion, insight, and realism.

Saving the Lost Tribe: The Rescue and Redemption of the
Ethiopian Jews
By Asher Naim
For nearly three thousand years, the black Jews of Ethiopia,
known as the Falashas, maintained their faith and identity
in the face of drought, famine, and tribal war. Then in 1991,
surrounded by the brutal civil war facing Ethiopia, some 14,000
Falashas with the help of the Israeli air force, staged a
miraculous exodus, and arrived in Jerusalem. Told by Asher
Naim, the Israeli Ambassador who made it happen, this book
is the story of that incredible rescue, as well as the extraordinary
history of the Falashas and their tremendous unwavering faith.
