The Coolest Book Signing!

Since my book, If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing! officially launched August 1, I had a launch and book signing party last night. It was a blast! Brenda Kay of Brenda Kay Hair Specialties, here in Portland Oregon, hosted the party. We had champagne, munchies and lots of fun.

It was wonderful hearing from the women who have already read the book that it made them laugh, made them cry, and inspired them. It was great seeing some of the ladies who helped me write the book, as part of my focus group while I was doing research. And there were a lot of people buying the book who were going to read it for the first time -- and they were excited.

The best part was the kids. There were a few girls there, and they were adorable. Smart, talented and beautiful. Wearing wigs or hats. Stephanie is an artist, and as cute as a button. Hanna, who loves math, wants to be a teacher. And there was Juliette, poised and lovely, and Jera, quiet and sweet.

I could hardly get to sleep last night, thinking about them. My alopecia started in my 20's, so I didn't have to go through the difficulties of school --other kids thinking you're weird because you look different. It makes me cry. What strong women they are going to be.
