When the Ugly Comes propels the reader into a compelling and provocative escape into the deep, sultry south. The year is 1955. When Dr. Elijah Kingdom, a Black doctor, opens a clinic in the tiny town of Marigold, Alabama, a wealthy councilman and KKK member demands Kingdom leave town. The consequences of Kingdom's refusal turn deadly. Fate leads him to Margaret, a young white woman used to the ugliness of life, and her endearing father, a prison guard. But will fate or something even greater give them the strength to survive? From the mysterious death of the councilman's passionate wife to the accusation of Kingdom as a murderer - lies, passion, and untold horrors strip this southern town before it learns evil lies within the heart not the skin.
