I like how McBride alternates between things he discovered late in life about his mother to how his mother's life impacts affected his life and the lives of his siblings, which helps the reader to learn more about social impacts affecting those whose life might parallel in similar ways.
It's a very good book and may well be considered a timeless classic, over the years to come.
