She Does Good Hair (Book 1 of The Hair Mavens)

By Terri L. Gillespie

Description:

Shira Goldstein’s life takes a drastic turn when she goes from styling the wealthy and famous at a premiere salon in Manhattan, to humiliated and unemployed in one day. Just when she thinks things couldn’t get worse, her Aunt Edna passes away. Her aunt leaves Shira her run-down salon, The Hair Mavens, but an unwelcome surprise accompanies the inheritance.

According to her aunt’s dreamy lawyer, Jesse Fox, the salon comes with three beauticians-the mavens-Harriet Foster, Beulah Montgomery and Kathy Smith.

Harriet isn’t interested in any new fangled changes and wants to make sure she comes out on top-whatever it takes.

Beulah was Aunt Edna’s prayer partner and wants to support Shira, but knows the three mavens are about to be fired. Besides what would a star in the salon field want with a behind-the-times beautician?

Kathy, afraid of her own shadow, bears a secret Edna took with her to the grave. Only God could bring four such unlikely women together to make a difference in each of their lives and eventually the whole community-if they don’t kill each other first.

Why the author wrote this book:

One of the most beautiful examples unity was between two women--Ruth and Naomi. A Jewish mother-in-law, and a Moabite daughter-in-law. Moabites had been cursed by GOD. Nevertheless, their bond changed history for all of us. There's something powerful in the act of unity between the redeemed of the LORD. Jesus prayed for it in John 17.
