Summary of Danielle Henderson's The Ugly Cry

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 My mom met my dad in drum corps, and they had a summer romance. When she graduated, she got a job at a theme park in New Jersey, and when she returned home, she told my dad that she was going to use her life to chase a man.

#2 My mom went missing for three months, and when she returned, she was pregnant with my brother. Her life in North Carolina was bleak, and she lived in a trailer with my dad on his family’s property. She couldn’t afford the hospital bill after Cory was born, so she called her grandmother to wire her some money.

#3 When my grandparents met my mom, she was wearing old men’s clothes and was completely disheveled. She had stopped taking care of herself, and was pregnant again.

#4 I was born in the middle of 1977. A nurse had knocked on the waiting-room window, and when Grandma and Nana Dar turned around, they had me in their arms. My grandma said that I was beautiful from the minute I came into this world.
