The(ir) Blurb...

Two older women catch each other's eye at their hairdresser's. It's not Charlotte's usual day, so they've not met before. One is Maya, with a tart tongue and a businesslike air; the softer Charlotte seems to smile more often. After Charlotte leaves the salon that day, both review the encounter, and memories flood them. What will they do with these feelings and remembrances? A trunk of keepsakes, a bingo game, a neighbor bringing tea, and sympathetic hair stylists help with the resolution.
