Description

A new collection of hilarious, intergenerational anecdotes full of absurd detail about everyday experiences of racism from the New York Times bestselling authors of You’ll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey, comedian Amber Ruffin and her sister Lacey.

Families may not always see eye to eye; we get on each other’s nerves, have different perspectives and lives—especially when we consider how we've grown up in different generations. But for the Ruffin family and many others, there has been one constant that connects them: racism hasn’t gone anywhere.

From her raucous musical numbers to turning upsetting news into laughs as the host of The Amber Ruffin Show or in her Late Night with Seth Meyers segments, Amber is no stranger to finding the funny wherever she looks. With equal parts heart and humor, she and her sister Lacey Lamar shared some of the eye-opening and outrageous experiences Lacey had faced in Nebraska in their first book. Now, the dynamic duo makes it clear—Lacey isn’t the only one in the family with ridiculous encounters to share! Amber and Lacey have many more uproarious stories, both from their own lives and the entire Ruffin family.

Recounting the wildest tales of racism from their parents, their siblings, and Amber’s nieces and nephews, this intergenerational look at ludicrous (but all too believable) everyday racism as experienced across age, gender, and appearance will have you gasping with shock and laughter in turn. Validating for anyone who has first-hand experience, and revealing for anyone who doesn’t, Amber and Lacey’s next book helps us all find the absurdity in the pervasive frustrations of racism. Illuminating and packed with love and laughter, this is a must-listen for just about everyone.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Thank you again to the Ruffin sisters for stuffing ten pounds of truth in a (funny!) five pound bag.\"—Tina Fey

"A perfect follow-up to the authors’ You’ll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey . . . The banter between the sisters is consistently funny, but the underlying social commentary remains incisive . . . An excellent look at lived experiences of Black Americans that should be required reading for all Americans."—Kirkus, Starred Review

Delightful

The Ruffin sisters are just hilarious. I should probably feel bad for enjoying other people’s pain so much, but the stories are just too good! Off to check out the bonus PDF.

Thank you

I enjoyed their first book so I had high hopes for this and they didn’t disappoint. Thank you for sharing and giving more insight to your lived experiences.

As delightful and disturbing as the 1st

Once again, Amber and Lacey shine a light on the very real racism experienced by all members of their family and do so with charm, songs and humour without diminishing the incredulity, frustration, anger, or fear that circulate through the stories. And this time, a bonus pdf of cute pictures!!!

There are not enough stars for these ladies!

Amber Ruffin and Lacey Lamar are phenomenal. Period. End of sentence!
This book had me both laughing out loud and wiping away tears of sadness and disbelief. They took a most heartbreaking subject matter of racism and had me laughing. These ladies, and their families, have me in awe. Thank you Amber and Lacey! I hope you have many more books in your future but I deeply hope that you have no new stories to fill them with. (Listen to this book and you will understand that sentence.)
Also, the Audible version of this book is amazing just for the songs alone!
Highly -- no -- highestly (yes, I invented that word because it is deserved here) recommend this listen!
