Book Description:
Joni Rodgers lives in Texas, where big hair is a God-given right. It’s essential to any waitressing job, prerequisite for a real estate license, as natural as Naugahyde, and as important as Elvis. But at thirty-two, Joni was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and lost her hair to chemotherapy. It’s not fun being a bald girl in the Big Hair Capital of America, but Joni managed to hold on to her sanity — and her sense of humor. With the same amazing ability to laugh at life, and herself, that helped her survive cancer, Joni now recounts her story — a deeply affecting tale of industrial-strength drugs, healing herbs, love, sex, prayer, kids, career, and the search for a wig that won’t make her look like Betty Rubble.
