About this ebook

A woman's heart holds many secrets and Joyce Parker can attest to that. Working at the beauty salon attached to the back of the house her father left her, she raised her children teaching them everything there is to know about the beauty business. Can her deepest secret be kept? Have the choices she made created the dysfunction in the family?

Wendell, a recovering womanizer, has always been the go-to man in the family. He's changed his ways, but is it enough to repair the damage with the only woman he's ever loved—Naomi?

Glory has seen her brother go through women like a stylist goes through hair spray. And if all men operate like Wendell, none of them can be trusted. So, if you can't beat 'em—join 'em.

Sweetie is a magnet for men with issues. Either they're verbally abusing her or physically abusing her... until Ricardo. He treats her like a princess—and then his hustler's withdrawal sets in. Can she help him through his addiction to making fast money?

Overworked, overweight, and overwhelmed, Frannie is 'happily' married and raising three children. She has the life that everyone in the family sees as ideal—too bad she doesn't agree.

Can this family of hairstylists keep their bond in tact all while working together, fighting each other, and having each other's back?

Author

Elaine Flowers

A retired salon owner and hair stylist of more than 20 years, Elaine Flowers is a native of Wichita, Kansas, but now resides in Dallas, Texas. Becoming a full time writer and published author in 2002, she released her first novel, Black Beauty in 2004. In 2007, after weeks of negotiations, this bestselling author came out of her self-imposed exile, and signed with Hollygrove Publishing joining the literary team headed by national Best Selling Author, Brian W. Smith. Because her readers had been clamoring for her next work, Elaine decided to give them more than they expected with, It’s Morning: Torn Lovers and Their Stories (2008) A book comprised of two novellas and one short story, each one has a love triangle with two men and one woman. The long-awaited Broken Appointments will be Ms. Flowers’ third work of fiction. Being released February 2011, this novel will be a spin-off of sorts with two of the characters from Black Beauty. Yes, more beauty salon drama. In the interim, this gifted writer is having great success with her first non fiction, I Wouldn’t Mind Having a Husband, I Just Don’t Want to Be Somebody’s Wife: The Single Woman’s Guide to Self-fulfillment. It is a self help book designed for single-never-been-married women who are egregiously seeking a husband. Elaine Flowers is a full time writer, discussion leader and freelance editor. It is her desire to create a dense body of work for those who enjoy her stories.
