I only we'd listen to ourselves

The Wisdom of Hair
by Kim Boykin

Aw, sweet!  Despite the grim premise, you get a heroine you can root for--even when she's doing all the wrong things for all the wrong reasons.  With a drunk mother and a long dead father, plucky Zora determines to undertake a new job and a beautician school...far, far away from the problems of the past.  What she takes with her is her own problem.

You sure hope she figures that out.  You just have to like this girl--and your thrilled for her when others do, too.  I haven't loved a heroine so much since Trudi in Stones From the River.
