Modern Day Hairy Tales

I am not one to sit down and read a book but my wife convinced me to do so with this one. I have a grand daughter with Alopecia Universalis. This book opened my eyes and made me aware that I need to accept this disease because it will not go away. I think the less I know about Alopecia, it will not be real. Claire's book made me open my eyes to reality and I am the one that needs to cope with Alopecia. When my grand daughter was born she was so beautiful and perfect and I did not want to accept anything different. This book has showed me that I am not alone with my feelings and that my grand daughter is truly perfect. It was me all this time that needed this book, not my grand daughter. Thank you Claire Bush for helping me face reality. I love you Olivia, Poppy

I am a 5 year cancer survivor and have been on chemotherapy 5 years. This book helped me very much about the hair loss that I face off and on. It is very hard to deal with and the information that Claire Bush has in her book makes me realize that I am not the only one feeling like I do. Others have the exact feelings that I do and this book has helped me to cope with my condition. I find this book very helpful and full of information.

What a great book. I have learned so much from reading this book. I have 3 daughters that are close to a little girl named Olivia with Alopecia Universalis. They have always accepted her and her condition but there are a lot of children and grown ups that do not. I hope that this book becomes world famous so that everyone will understand about hair loss and understand what these people are having to deal with. I would like to see Claire Bush and this wonderful book on several talk shows in the near future.

Modern Day Hairy Tales

What a wonderful book. My grand-daughter is a part of thisbook. Claire Bush covers all ages, and all phases of hair loss. Ifind this book to be an inspiration. Society is not aware of alopecia and the physical and emotional pain that people suffer from this illness. Claire's book helps all of us to cope better and understand the tragedy of hair loss. I truly hope that Claire will continue to write on hair loss and possibly do follow up stories from her book. I was so glad to find such informative information to show the people that there is help and support out there and they are not alone. This book sure opened my eyes. Thank you Claire Bush!

True Stories From the Land of Hair Loss

This book is a treasure for anyone suffering from alopecia or other types of hair loss or knows someone suffering with this condition. I am a female who began to lose her hair at the age of 27 and this is the book I wished I could have found. The book contains 24 stories of how others have coped with hair loss. The stories are at times painful, but always hopeful and the author displays a remarkable sense of humor. Additionally the book is quite educational, thoughtful and moving. I literally read this book cover to cover without putting it down! The second part of the book is appropriately titled, "Everything you ever wanted to know about hair loss but didn't know who to ask!" The author has given us a gift.
