  • "What happens when you toss tradition out the window and really start living for yourself? Venus Johnston has a great job, a beautiful home, and a loving live-in boyfriend named Clint, who happens to be a drop-dead gorgeous doctor. She has a weekly beauty-parlor date with Tina, who keeps Venus's long, processed hair slick and straight. Ever since childhood, the tedious hours in the salon and the harsh, burning chemicals have grated on Venus, and increasingly she dreams of cutting off her beautiful "good" hair. When her boyfriend keeps balking at commitment, and the thought of another hour at the salon is just too much, Venus decides to give it up--all of it. She trades in the long hair for a dramatically short, natural cut and sends Clint packing. It's a bold declaration of independence--and one that has effects she never could have imagined. Reactions from friends and co-workers range from concern to contempt to outright condemnation. When Clint moves on and starts dating a voluptuous, long-haired beauty, Venus is forced to question what she really wants out of life. With wit, resilience, and a lot of determination, she finally learns what true happiness is ... on her own terms."@en
  • "Now in paperback, "Nappily Ever After" is a hip, sassy novel about a smart and successful African-American woman who discovers the true meaning of liberation when she rebels against the beauty ritual she has dutifully accepted since early childhood."@en
