You'll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey: Crazy Stories about Racism by Lacey Lamar, Amber Ruffin

5.0

The stories are awful, the telling of them is amazing. You can laugh and learn and be appalled all at the same time! Lacey's only a little older than I am, and Omaha's not that far from where I grew up, and this... yeah, this is the stuff I didn't see. I'm not as surprised by these stories now as I would have been when I was 18, but having them all given the face of Lacey and collected in this nonstop avalanche really paints a heck of a picture. Piles of thanks to Amber and Lacey for putting it all down on paper. I wish this book had existed when I was younger (and maybe been required reading in my high school).
