The current President of CCNY, Dr. Williams, grew up thinking that he was white. When he was 10 or so, his father came back into his life, as his father. His father is black. They moved to Indiana, to be near his dad's family. He then lived life on the other side of the racial divide of that time.

The book sounds fascinating, and I'll probably read it before the year is out.
That does sound like an interesting book.
