This is what I was able to find on James McBride's siblings. I couldn't find out about one of his sisters (Helen).

The following information is directly copied from "One Book, One Philadelphia" - The Free Library of Philadelphia:

"Andrew Dennis McBride - James’s older brother and Ruth’s oldest son, who was an artist and civil rights activist and became a doctor.

Rosetta McBride - James’s older sister and Ruth’s oldest daughter, who was appointed to keep the younger children in line and who became a psychologist.

William (Billy) McBride - James’s older brother who enjoyed teasing him and who became a medical director.

David McBride - James’s older brother and William’s partner in crime when it came to teasing James. He became a University Chairman of Afro-American History.

Richard (Richie) McBride - James’s brother. The absent-minded “Mad Scientist” son of Ruth who became a chemistry professor.

Dorothy McBride-Wesley - James’s sister who became a medical practice office manager.

Kathy Jordan - James’s attractive half-sister who grew up to be a special-education teacher and with whom Ruth lived later in her life.

Judy Jordan - James’s half-sister who became a teacher in New York

Hunter Jordan - James’s younger half-brother who became a computer consultant.

Henry Jordan - James’s youngest half-brother, who disliked his mother’s cooking. He attended North Carolina A&T University."
