Chemo, pray, love...
Texas is big. Dang big. Big meat, big hats, and big, big, hair. Texas women have hair so big it gives Texas honeybees beehive envy. What's a girl to do when, thanks to chemotherapy, she has to battle cancer without even her god-given right of Big Hair?
If you're Joni Rodgers, you use humor, candor, anger, and finally, grace and dignity (sprinkled with healthy doses of sex and Jell-o). Funny, moving, and inspiring, Bald in the Land of Big Hair is a tribute to the triumph of the human spirit, the importance of community, an the imperative of living each day with joy and grace and a wig that doesn't make you look like Betty Rubble.
Kudos
“A mix of Molly Ivins’ blowsy wit and Anna Quindlen’s suburban logic…a rare literary feat...painful and funny in one urgent breath.” Entertainment Weekly
“Thoroughly enjoyable, idiosyncratic, and funny…
an uplifting celebration of life.” London Daily Mail
“Gutsy…impressive…engaging...” New York Times
“...a delicious sense of humor and a well-defined sense of self.
Darkly comic…inspiring…” Kirkus
“Funny…heartbreaking…free-spirited.” Library Journal
“This is a very important book. Read it.” Elizabeth Berg, bestselling author of Talk Before Sleep
Lisa Hamilton is Joni Rodgers in an uproarious one-woman show based on the uplifting memoir Bald in the Land of Big Hair
