To Ella Beene, happiness means living in the Northern
California river town of Elbow, California, with her husband
Joe and his two young children. But one summer day Joe
drowns, leaving Ella alone with Annie and Zach—until his
ex-wife, Paige, shows up at the funeral. For three years,
Ella believed that Paige had selfishly abandoned her family.
Yet—as the custody fight between mother and stepmother
ensues—Ella realizes there may be more to the story than Joe
ever revealed. The Underside of Joy is not a fairy-tale version of
step-motherhood, pitting good against evil, but a
captivating story of two women who both claim to be the
mother of the same two children.
