Trimming the Blue Hairs

Book excerpt: Ella Boyce doesn't know it, but she is one, hot cosmetologist at the top of her game. Wait, she does know it. In fact, that's all she knows until she lowers herself to wash and style an undesirable client: her neighbor that is three times her age and equally as lonely. The one-hour ordeal manifests Ella's disposable life, forcing her to pull away from a trendy salon to pursue a not so glamorous business: in-home stylist for the elderly. What starts as a boob drooping, nail chipping undertaking, escalates to a growing need for one another. Ella gains stability and a grown-up romance through a generation she once ignored. Her clients find relief in her energy and entertainment as their health declines and choices dwindle. Experience the laughter and heartache as life's ugly truths unravel Ella's snobbery while challenging her balance of family, friendship and career.
