Tiqa of The Color of water

In The Color of Water, Ruth has changed a lot after the death of her husband and she grieves over his death. She is doing many things to take her mind off of the death of her dead husband and her dead friend. James McBride explains, " Jesus pressed her forward. Each and every Sunday, no matter how tired, depressed, or broke, she got up early, dressed in her best, and headed for church"(McBride). This quote supports the topic because she is going to church to take her mind off of the death of her husband. Before this she has never gone to church because she was a jew.
