Help, Please: I Forgot the Title

About 5 years ago, I read a great little oddity of a book about a boy born to a black woman who is, at birth, "white" ... but then, as he grows older, turns "black" .. and his experiences as he roams the countryside of the South.

I loaned the book to someone whom I lost touch with, and now I'd like to give it as a gift to a friend. Unfortunately, I can't remember the title. If anyone knows the title of this book, please let me know, OK?! :oops:

Thanks so much!
Richard

Could it be Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin? Published in 1961.

No, but thanks anyway.

It was a much more recent book than that. Published maybe 5 or 6 years ago or so. Guess I'll just have to keep looking.

Thanks,
Richard

I wasn't clear, the original publish date was 1961. It's been published many many times since then.

But anyway... let us know if you find it.
