Set during the civil rights movement, the narrative delves into Lacey’s experiences with colorism and societal expectations. As she navigates her friendships and family dynamics, Lacey learns to embrace her own beauty and heritage. Through poignant reflections and powerful moments, the story highlights the importance of self-love and the impact of culture on one's perception of identity, ultimately empowering Lacey to celebrate her uniqueness.
