Pride and Joy by Louisa Onomé - Paperback

Although recently divorced, ever dutiful daughter Joy Okafor, has planned every aspect of her mother’s seventieth birthday weekend.

As family members begin to arrive, Joy’s mother goes upstairs to take a nap. But when her grandchildren go to wake her, they find her unresponsive and immediately call an ambulance. Amidst the chaos, Auntie Nancy refuses to accept that her sister has died. Trailing the ambulance, Auntie Nancy has a divine encounter―a brown cow appears and God tells her that her sister will rise again on Easter Sunday like Jesus Christ. The zealous Auntie Nancy invites her pastor, her white garment spiritualist, the Nigerian community in Ontario and the local journalists. 

In this is a hilarious family saga, a family prepares for a miracle while coming apart at the seams, and grappling with what losing their matriarch means for each of them. Pride and Joy is an unforgettable romp.
