Booklist Review 4/15/04
For the Simon sisters, hair dyeing is a ritual. The eldest, Leah, favors reds and blondes, while the middle sister, Claudia, prefers browns light and dark. The youngest, Emily, is thankful she doesn't have to worry about the pesky gray hairs that plague her sisters. But she has plenty of concerns of her own--she's still reeling from the death of her husband, Vince, and trying to care for their daughter, Abby. Luckily, Vince's best friend, Jake, is always there to help out, but Emily is starting to worry that she feels more than friendship for him. Claudia has been dating a series of bad men, and Leah is trying to find Mr. Right even as she falls for a sexy younger man. But a pair of health scares tries the trio's nerves and brings them closer together. Ultimately, the sisters' love for each other is the real strength of Rendahl's warm and touching novel.
