Good Hair

Benilde Little

Alice Andrews is living in Manhattan, working as a reporter in Newark, and trying to forget the smooth-talking investment banker she thought was Mr. Right. When she meets Jack Russworm, a handsome, Harvard-educated doctor, things start looking up. But as their romance heats up, their differences bubble to the surface.

Benilde Little offers us a delicious, closely observed, eye-opening look at the world of upper-class Black Manhattan in a novel that is alternately humorous and touching, sexy and bold.

Praise for this book

Glenda Eckert Tulsa World With just the right touch of humor, the reality in this smart novel hits the soul. Little does an exceptional job of conveying inner feelings, even the ones that are sometimes difficult to confront.
Karen Grigsby-Bates Los Angeles Times Book Review Benilde Little...has written what some might consider an oxymoron...a Black comedy of manners...An absorbing read.
