color of water

I am reading chapter 12 of the Color of Water. I am really enjoying this book. It is not my normal go to read but I am enjoying it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quick read.  I can't really relate to James and his family that much but I can relate to how he and his siblings interact. Having a brother myself I can relate to the "brotherly love" that they share. My brother is constantly driving me crazy with his antics. Ruth I can not relate to at all. I have not been in any of the situations that she has been in. Her life before she was a christian was terrible. I feel bad for Ruth but also admire her strength and ability to move on from such a horrible life.
