The book features how to get the best haircut for your curls, and how to create salon-styled hair at home. As well as daily maintenance, there will be some hair tutorials to show you how you can mix up your look. This book aims to be a handbook for those with curly hair to refer to on a daily, weekly, and seasonal basis, with a cool aesthetic that has never been done before. With a pro-curl attitude and a focus on the positives of curly hair, Unruly Curls is a celebration of this hair type and will inspire anyone with curly hair.

Vera Lights is a former Broadway star whose life has taken a new direction. Now a single mother living in a hotel in midtown Manhattan with her two young children, Henry and Loretta, Vera does her best to protect and nurture them, despite her meager resources. Alone after failed marriages and with seemingly no hope for a career revival, she must rely on her inner strength to carry her through her exhausting days. While Vera works as a waitress in a Broadway diner to make ends meet, Henry and Loretta grow up in a dark, challenging world in which vagrants, pimps and drug dealers own the street corners, police turn a blind eye, and tourists avoid Times Square. But as life comes full circle and a resurrection of Broadway and midtown Manhattan begins, Vera and her children may be able to rise from the depths of despair and breathe life back into their dreams. Lights is a poignant, sweeping story of revival as a Broadway actress attempts to restore her hope, faith, and separate destinies for her family while living in a city marked by hate, ignorance, and poverty.
