(From back cover)
"A funny, poignant first novel about the bonds between women." -HOUSTON CHRONICLE
Patty Jane Dobbin should have known better than to marry a man as gorgeous as Thor Rolvaag, but she was too smitten to think twice. Yet nine months into their marriage, with a baby on the way, Thor is gone.
It's a good thing Patty Jane has her irrepressible sister, Harriet, to rely on. For it's been said that a fine haircut can cure any number 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.
It's a wonderful, warmhearted place where you can count on good friends, lots aof laughter, tears, and comfort when you need it - and the unmistakeable scent of somebody getting a permanent wave...
"PATTY JANE'S HOUSE OF CURL has the emotional warmth of Lake Woebegone and the tender-tough female characters who populated 'Fried Green Tomatoes'...A unique story." -SAINT PAUL PIONEER PRESS
