What is The Ugly Cry : How I Became a Person (Despite My Grandmother's Horrible Advice) about?
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 Scissors ? "If you fight that motherf**ker and you don?t win, you?re going to come home and fight me." Not the advice you?d normally expect from your grandmother?but Danielle Henderson would be the first to tell you her childhood was anything but conventional. Abandoned at ten years old by a mother who chose her drug-addicted, abusive boyfriend, Danielle was raised by grandparents who thought their child-rearing days had ended in the 1960s. She grew up Black, weird, and overwhelmingly uncool in a mostly white neighborhood in upstate New York, which created its own identity crises. Under the eye-rolling, foul-mouthed, loving tutelage of her uncompromising grandmother?and the horror movies she obsessively watched?Danielle grew into a tall, awkward,? Sassy -loving teenager who wore black eyeliner as lipstick
