Patty Jane's House of Curl (Ballantine Reader's Circle)

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. Its a good thing Patty Jane has her irrepressible sister, Harriet, to rely on. For its 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. Its a wonderful, warmhearted place where you can count on good friends, lots of laughter, tears, and comfort when you need itand the unmistakable scent of somebody getting a permanent wave. . . .
