Just as I Am is my truth. It is me, plain and unvarnished, with the glitter and garland set aside. Here, I am indeed Cicely, the actress who has been blessed to grace the stage and screen for six decades. Yet I am also the church girl who once rarely spoke a word. I am the teenager who sought solace in the verses of the old hymn for which this book is named. I am a daughter and mother, a sister, and a friend. I am an observer of human nature and the dreamer of audacious dreams.

A well told story
I enjoyed the book, for the most part. There was a lot of telling and narration, which I’m not always a fan of. I prefer dialogue. Lots of history being told/remembered by Alice. She was an interesting heroine. Sometimes I understood her, and other times she completely confused me. Can’t say I really liked Jack or Miles. It seemed like they were both missing something. Maybe that was the point of the story. No one has all of what we need. If we’re lucky or fortunate, we find someone who offers most of what we want and need. I guess that’s what Jack represented. The story didn’t feel complete — which may have been the point. Our lives aren’t complete, not until we die. All in all, the story was well told. The title ‘Good Hair’ was both literal and metaphorical, which I liked.
As for the narrator, Kim Staunton was excellent. She is by far my favorite narrator.

Evelyn has been married to her husband for 40 years - 40 years since he slipped off her first wedding ring and put his own in its place. Delphine has seen both sides of love - the ecstatic, glorious highs of seduction, and the bitter, spiteful fury that descends when it’s over. James, a paramedic who works the night shift, knows his wife’s family thinks she could have done better; while Kate, partnered with Dan for a decade, has seen every kind of wedding - beach weddings, backyard weddings, castle weddings - and has vowed never, ever, to have one of her own.
