In the picturesque town of Runnymede, everyone knows
everyone else's business, and the madcap antics of the
battling Hunsenmeir sisters, Julia (Juts) and Louise, have
kept the whole town agog ever since they were children.
Now, in the fateful year of 1941, with America headed for
war, the sisters are inching toward forty...and Juts is
unwise enough to mention that unspeakable reality to her
sister. The result is a huge brawl that litters
Cadwalder's soda fountain with four hundred dollars' worth
of broken glass. To pay the debt, the sisters choose a
surprisingly new direction. Suddenly they are joint owners
of The Curl 'n' Twirl beauty salon, where discriminating
ladies meet to be primped, permed, and pampered while
dishing the town's latest dirt. As Juts and Louise become
Runnymede's most unlikely new career women, each faces her
share of obstacles. Restless Juts can't shake her longing
for a baby, while holier-than-thou Louise is fit to be
tied over her teenage daughter's headlong rush toward
scandal. Spanning a decade in the lives of Louise, Juts,
and their nearest and dearest, including the incomparable
Celeste Chalfonte, Loose Lips is an unforgettable tale of
love and loss and the way life can always throw you a
curveball.
