The Color of Water

<Ch4> “Yet conflict was a part of our lives, written into our very faces, hands, and arms,

McBride writes, “Yet conflict was a part of our lives, written into our very faces, hands, and arms, and to see how contradiction lives and survived in its essence, we had to look no further than our own mother” (29). How is conflict written into the McBride children’s very bodies? How did contradiction live and survive in his mother?
