Homestyle Michele Feltman Strider

The Homestyle Series Jolene Harris grew up knowing the real hair color of every woman in town. The daughter of beautician Rhoda Harris, she was raised on a hearty diet of gossip, hearsay, and hairspray. Working side-by-side in Rhoda's double-wide salon, the two women often know more about the daily news of Bayou La Batre, AL than the preacher, the priest, and the paper combined. Set in a bustling little town just about as far South as you can go without getting your feet wet, every day brings a different set of friends, clients, and complications to untangle. There's Thuy, the esthetician/nursing student as devoted to her school books as her Bible and her frenemy Nancy, a single mom with a worse reputation in town than hurricane season. There's Sam, a local good ol' boy and Rhoda's devoted beau, and Keith, the town bad boy and Jolene's sketchy boyfriend. Joining them are shop regulars like scandalmongers Niecey and Valerie, shrinking techno-violet librarian Carrie Anne, ever-surprising retiree Gloria, and a calendar full of surprising drop-ins. Originally published in 2017 as a monthly serialized ebook, this edition contains the complete Homestyle series. As Rhoda says, "miss a day and you miss a lot!"
