Nashville, TN Short Cut by Dr. Karen Sloan-Brown (available at Amazon.com) is another great read, faithful to the author's commitment to feature positive Black characters who wrestle with similar challenges that we all deal with in fulfilling our dreams and goals, finding love and happiness, and taking care of family.
The main character, Ernest, is the owner and head barber at the King Cut Barber Shop. He can cut out the likeness of Barack Obama, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X with the words 'By Any Means Necessary' onto a client's scalp with his straight razor that would rival any accomplished artist. He had done all right for himself and his family with a successful business on a rough corner in the hood, except he wanted more.
