Good Hair Days

Two sisters, a failing family business, a messy legacy, and a whole lot of hairspray.
"Kristy Woodson Harvey, Nancy Thayer, and Patti Callahan Henry fans should take note." --Booklist
A modern twist on Steel Magnolias meets Hello Beautiful with some extra Dolly Parton flair.
The Louise women have squabbled for years, but they've always agreed on one thing: Georgia would be the one to make them proud. Years--and failed dreams--later, Georgia only wants to come home to the small Southern town of Whitetail, back to the family salon, June's Beauty Shop, but to do so would mean dashing their hopes by admitting she's fallen helplessly short.
When little sister Junie lands the beauty shop in hot water by way of a renovation gone wrong, reliable big sister Georgia returns to save the day. June's Beauty may look like an outdated hole-in-the-wall slathered in Dolly Parton memorabilia, but to the women in town, it's a sacred space. To Georgia and Junie, it is their family legacy. For generations, the shop has been passed down to every first-born daughter--always named June. It's what's left to anchor them to their late mother's memory.
Without enough money to repair the shop, the sisters, along with their maternal aunts, jump into a series of money-making schemes. From setting out gambling tables at June's to selling Aunt Tina's pies at the fair, they will stop at nothing. But when Junie receives a life-altering diagnosis, the very world the Louise women could always rely on is turned upside down. They are forced to dig deep, finally tell the truth, and rely on the part of their family legacy that has never wavered: the deep love between them.
Bursting with energy, heart, and sass, Good Hair Days is about a family pulling together for a common purpose, finding healing from the past, and moving forward courageously as they face their hardest trial yet.
Discussion questions are included, so it's perfect for book clubs! Keep your tissues nearby because this one is practically guaranteed to make you feel all the feelings.
