Ugly Ways: The Bestselling Darkly Humorous Family Drama of Grief, Death, and the Afterlife
Tina McElroy Ansa
When the formidable Mudear Lovejoy dies, her three very different daughters return to Mulberry, Georgia, carrying old grievances, private wounds, and sharply conflicting memories of the mother who ruled their lives. As Betty, Emily, and Annie Ruth gather with their overwhelmed father for the wake and funeral, family stories unfold in vivid, alternating voices—and Mudear’s presence proves difficult to leave behind. Blending dark humor, Southern atmosphere, and elements of the supernatural, the novel explores grief, motherhood, Black womanhood, family inheritance, and the complicated bonds between daughters and mothers. Tina McElroy Ansa’s energetic, compassionate storytelling transforms a chaotic family reckoning into a rich meditation on death, memory, and the possibility of release.
