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?
