Book excerpt: "Red's Magic Comb, Pressing Through the Kinks of Life" is an inspirational story that chronicles Henrietta "Red" Howard's journey from a childhood of extreme poverty in the restricted South and personal challenges to becoming the First Black Female Salon Owner in the town of Talbotton, Georgia. The book relies on the recollection of "Red," who is currently 90 years old as of January 16, 2023, to give accounts of her everyday life as a child, a teenager, and an adult. It tells how she always sought positivity and overcame some of life's most devastating blows to stay on course to achieve what she believed she deserved. Because of her own experiences early in her life, she had a vision of what she wanted and did not want for herself and her family. She once proclaimed about her then-unborn children, "My children will NEVER work in no white man's field!" Red's views on love, relationships, and life served as the wind beneath her wings to realizing her dreams, being a beacon of hope for others, and making history in the world of hair and beauty. "Red's Magic Comb, Pressing Though the Kinks of Life" will take the reader through emotional highs and lows but serve as inspiration in the end.
