The Color of Water

While James desires to claim his mother's history, his mother, for many years, survived by denying it altogether. Why does this book, a collaboration that James pushed for and his mother resisted, succeed?

This question calls for your opinion. There is no right or wrong answer. In my opinion the novel is successful because it vividly displays the conflicts within James, as well as his mother's independent spirit and talent for living above it all.
