Help: What was the name of the mid-90s book about the North Carolina b/w family? |
|
I think the author was a UVA professor.
It was about how he found out his family heritage was black and white.
A friend of mine read it and realized that she was a member of the family and had a nice correspondence with him.
I can't remember the title of the book if you put a gun to my head.
Help!

1. Was it "The Color of Water"? |
|
I think the author's name was MacBride. Does that sound right?

Yes, I'd resorted to going to Amazon and seeing what people who'd read "The Color of Water" bought -I saw "The Hairstons" there, but hadn't looked at it yet. I wonder if they're related to Lindsay Hairston?
