Recently divorced, a life coach whose phone wont stop ringing, and ever the dutiful Nigerian daughter, Joy has planned every aspect of her mothers seventieth birthday weekend on her own.As the Okafors slowly begin to arrive, Mama Mary goes to take a nap. But when the grandkids go to wake her, they find that she isnt sleeping after all. Refusing to believe that her sister is gonegone, Auntie Nancy declares that she has had a premonition that Mama Mary will rise again like Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday.Desperate to believe that theyre about to witness a miracle, the family overhauls their birthday plans to welcome the Nigerian Canadian community, effectively spreading the word that Mama Mary is coming back. But skeptical Joy is struggling with the loss of her mother and not allowing herself to mourn just yet while going through the motions of planning a funeral that her aunt refuses to allow.Filled with humor and flawed, deeply relatable characters that leap off the page, Pride and Joy will draw you in as the Okafors prepare for a miracle while coming apart at the seams, praying that they havent actually lost Mama Mary for good, and grappling with what losing her truly means for each of them.
