Inspiring Modern Day Book of Job Experience
"It's just hair," is something most women wouldn't want to have to repeat. Our hair whether short or long, brown, blonde or grey is part of our identity and something we enjoy and may even take for granted. However, Alene's heart-wrenching yet encourage memoir allows us to delve into the world of "What if I crush you?" and we learn that God indeed has a double blessing of joy, peace, wisdom and relationship on the other side of hardships.
