The Color of Water By: James McBride Pg 45

On page 45 it talks about how James moms loves church and god. How every sunday she was the only white person at church.. Something that cought my mind was when he said, "butchering the lovely hymns with a singing voice that sounded like a cross between a cold engine trying to crank on an october morning and a whining Maytag washer".This is something that my grandmother does every sunday which is somethingfunny for me because she is so alike the character of James mom. She sings all the songs eventhouhgt she doesnt sing hard she tries her best.
