more
The inspiring memoir of
interior designer Sheila Bridges, The Bald Mermaid comprises
engaging and deeply personal vignettes that explore
questions of identity, femininity, race, success, and what
it really means to have it all. After receiving degrees from
two prestigious universities, Bridges became wildly
successful in her career as an interior designer, designing
homes for high-profile clients and even hosting her own
television show. But when she lost her hair due to alopecia,
she lost it all: this is her story of coming to terms with
what success and happiness mean to her, realizing the cost
of freedom, and understanding what it means to stay true to
herself in the face of judgment, criticism, and expectation
from family, friends, lovers, and
strangers.
Beautifully illustrated with personal
photographs and images of Bridges' interior designs, The
Bald Mermaid is a delightfully candid, insightful, and often
humorous narrative of Bridges' ups and downs, and how she
persevered to ultimately find the courage to be herself.
