About the Book
"A sharp, hilarious memoir about a nontraditional upbringing and growing up Black in a predominantly white community"--Book Synopsis
An uproarious, moving memoir about a grandmother's ferocious love and redefining what it means to be family "Painfully good. I loved it." --Jenny Lawson, bestselling author of Furiously Happy The Ugly Cry is the funniest memoir I have ever read. It is also achingly sad. And powerfully redemptive. --Augusten Burroughs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Running with ScissorsReview Quotes
"I've struggled writing this blurb because hyperbole is unbelievable. Except the Grand Canyon really is astonishing and the universe does fill us with awe and Danielle Henderson's memoir, The Ugly Cry, is the funniest memoir I have ever read. It is also achingly sad. And powerfully redemptive. The Ugly Cry raises the bar on how hilarious and brave and weird and crazy and screamingly brilliant a memoir can be. Danielle Henderson has knocked it out of the park and into the stratosphere with this debut." --Augusten Burroughs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Running with Scissors "Danielle Henderson is a wonderful writer, and this clear-eyed look at her complex and flawed childhood did make me cry, as the title promises, but it also made me laugh--that is the beauty of a life well told. I look forward to recommending The Ugly Cry to memoir-lovers, to mall-lovers, to tough grandma-lovers, to tough-sister-lovers--to everyone, really." --Emma Straub, bestselling author of All Adults HereAbout The Author
