Maybe Patty Jane Dobbin should know better than to marry a man a gorgeous and Thor Rolvaag, but shes too smitten to think twice. Yet nine months in to their marriage, with a baby on the way, Thor is gone. Its a good thing Patty Jane has her irrepressible sister Harriet to rely on-not to mention her extremely short, extremely rich almost-brother-in-law, Avel Ames. Its been said that a good haircut can cure anynumber of ills, and before long, the Minnesota sisters have opened a neighborhood beauty parlor complete with live harp music and an endless supply of delicious Norwegian baked goods. Its a wonderful, warm-hearted place where you can count on good friends, lots of laughter, tears, and comfort when you need it-and the unmistakable scent of somebody getting a permanent wave.......
