Hair Apparent: A Tangy Tale of Familial Folly, Dubious Discovery and Muddled Misadventure

For B.B. Compton, tracking down the father she's never known was easy. It's when she discovers dear old dad is a mafia underboss that things get tricky and the word family takes on a whole new meaning. B.B.'s transformation from subdued suburban housewife to maladroit mafia princess begins with her attempt to get an up-close glimpse of her new relations. Things get out of control quickly when she's spotted and snatched off the street by a couple of wiseguys and her identity is uncovered. Before she knows what's happening, she's mired in the middle of a mob job gone wrong, fighting a flirtation with the sexy and dangerous mafia boss and stuck in the center of a squabble with a rival organization, all while trying to keep this felonious family reunion a secret from her husband, kids and nosy neighbors. Will she ever be able to put the lid back on this paternal Pandora's box and return to her former calm and predictable life? Not likely. As her Grandfather Compton used to say, "Once you're a pickle, you can't go back to being a cucumber."
