Sil Lai Abrams always knew she was different, with darker skin and curlier hair than her siblings. But when the man who she thought was her dad told her the truth--that her father was actually black--her whole world was turned upside down. Raised primarily in the Caucasian community of Winter Park, Florida, Abrams was forced to re-examine who she really was and struggle with her Caucasian, African American, and Chinese identities. In her remarkable memoir, she shares this journey and how it speaks to a larger question: Why does race matter? Black Lotus is a story of acceptance and identity but it is also a dialogue on the complex topic of race in this country by an award-winning writer and inspirational speaker"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Abrams, Sil Lai. 650 0 $a Racially mixed people $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Racially mixed people $x Race identity $z United States. 651 0 $a Winter Park (Fla.) $v Biography. 650 0 $a Passing (Identity) $z United States. 650 0 $a Ethnicity $z United States. 650 0 $a Self-acceptance $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Cultural Heritage. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / General. $2 bisacsh 776 08 $i Online version: $a Abrams, Sil Lai. $t Black lotus $b First Karen Hunter Publishing/Gallery Books hardcover edition. $d New York : Karen Hunter Publishing/Gallery Books, 2016 $z 9781451688481 $w (DLC) 2016014122 941 $a 3 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230704012359.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728010735.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161103023721.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=64E8FF1E8B8A11E6A6C758ADDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
