Hi Ladies,
It is interesting that this convo is taking place becasue last week I saw on Amazon a new book that I received the other day called NAPPILY EVER AFTER . I started reading it last night after I finished Terry Mc's book. So far it is kind of slow but I wanted to share it with you all just to see if anyone has read it or put it out there for you all to read. Here is the SUMMARY from AMAZON:

Book Description
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 coworkers 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.

Black is a mystery, and part of my history. Black is bold and worth a hell of a lot more than gold.
