LACY: Caviar to Collard Greens:Caviar to Collard Greens
At the end of Tangled in a Lover's Web: The Novel, one of the most memorable characters; LACY ANGEL BLAKE, was delivered shocking news about her family. Unfortunately, the devastating revelation had to take a backseat to the drama that was unfolding around her, the night her life changed forever. On that night, one fatal bullet put a nail in the coffin of two of her closest friendships and catapulted her into an identity crisis. Reluctantly, Lacy unlocked the doors to the parts of her mind that held captive, the most painful memories of her childhood. Motivated by unanswered questions and anger, she gathered as much strength as she possibly could and hesitantly walked through the doors of her past. Lacy was adopted by a wealthy white family six hours after she was born. They raised her as their own and made sure that she had the best of everything. Her adopted parents assimilated her into white society and sheltered her from the world beyond the walls of their exclusive, River Oaks neighborhood. Throughout her childhood, she was given a false sense of "white privilege". Unfortunately, that "privilege" was only given to her when she was under the watchful eyes of her parents. As she grew up, she started to feel the emptiness and isolation of being the only black person in her world. Lacy slowly realized that everything and everyone was not as it or they appeared to be. Then one day, reality came crashing down on her like a ton of bricks. When Lacy was 15-years-old, her aunt Hannah picked her up from school instead of her mother, and life after that was never the same. Something devastating happened, and her comfortable, care-free life, was no more. Within two weeks, she said goodbye to her best friend; Victoria, and was shipped off to a foster home in the predominately black, Hyde Park neighborhood of North Memphis; the short end. Several incidents took place there that landed LACY in a mental facility. What happened in Hyde Park and where is LACY now?
