Patty Jane's House of Curl -- Lorna Landvik

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. It s a good thing Patty Jane has her irrepressible sister, Harriet, to rely on. For it s 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. It s a wonderful, warmhearted place where you can count on good friends, lots of laughter, tears, and comfort when you need it and the unmistakable scent of somebody getting a permanent wave. . . ."<br><br><b>Author:</b> Lorna Landvik<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ballantine Group<br><b>Published:</b> 09/03/1996<br><b>Pages:</b> 320<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.57lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.02h x 5.20w x 0.72d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780449911006<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Publishers Weekly</i> 07/21/1997<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Lorna Landvik is also the author of the bestselling Your Oasis on Flame Lake and the upcoming The Tall Pine Polka.
