In 1983, on her nineteenth birthday, Zora Adams finally says
goodbye to her alcoholic mother and their tiny town in the
mountains of South Carolina. Living with a woman who dresses
like Judy Garland and brings home a different man each night
is not a pretty existence, and Zora is ready for life to be
beautiful.
With the help of a beloved teacher, she moves to a coastal
town and enrolls in the Davenport School of Beauty. Under
the tutelage of Mrs. Cathcart, she learns the art of fixing
hair, and becomes fast friends with the lively Sara Jane
Farquhar, a natural hair stylist. She also falls hard for
handsome young widower Winston Sawyer, who is drowning his
grief in bourbon. She couldn’t save Mama, but maybe she can
save him
As Zora practices finger waves, updos, and spit curls, she
also comes to learn that few things are permanent in this
life—except real love, lasting friendship, and, ultimately…
forgiveness.
