A fast-paced and compassionate novel from the nationally bestselling author of Bebe's By Golly Wow
Terri Mills has it all: good looks, a high-powered job as an attorney, plus a sexy and successful fiancé. But sometimes having it all can get to be too much. Her world at work and her personal life both begin to unravel, especially when her grandmother becomes ill. Terri struggles to get it together, but how?
Her hat-wearing grandmother knows. Terri ventures down South, back to her small-town roots, to nurse Grandma Ollie back to health-but it's Terri who finds healing. Grandma Ollie uses her sixth sense and her powerful gift of storytelling to help her troubled granddaughter.
In The Hatwearer's Lesson, Yolanda Joe delivers a delightful novel that demonstrates the importance of family traditions and having the courage to follow our instincts and our hearts.

Yolanda Joe is the bestselling author of Bebe's By Golly Wow; He Say, She Say; Falling Leaves of Ivy; and This Just In. A former TV and radio producer, she is also the author of two mysteries under the pen name Ardella Garland. She is a graduate of Yale and the Columbia School of Journalism.
Readers who know that success isn't measured by material wealth will root for beautiful Terri Mills, a powerful attorney for the city of Chicago, who comes to understand that false values could destroy her life. Despite having grown up without parents or much money, Terri has made it big. She's riding high until her fiance, Derek Houser, cheats on her. His smooth-talking apologies are none too convincing; in fact, his smarminess and self-indulgence makes one wonder what she ever saw in the guy besides his Jaguar XJ6. Yet Joe (Babe's by Golly Wow) makes clear that it's especially difficult for a professional African-American woman to find a man who is not intimidated by her smarts. Not to mention that Terri and Derek are the perfect power couple, and Terri hates the idea of losing the fruits of their collective networking. When Terri's beloved Grandma Ollie becomes ill back home in Collingswood, Ark., Terri rushes to her bedside. There, she has time to reflect on her muddled love life, and Grandma Ollie offers additional insights by way of stories from her own youth. Distracted by Grandma Ollie's dramatic past and Derek's long-distance contrition, Terri doesn't realize that local rodeo superstar Lynnwood Conway has fallen in love with her. The unassuming ease with which Lynnwood woos Terri forces her to reconsider what and who truly makes her happy. This is a spirited fairy tale for young black professional women with an ending as predictable, and as satisfying, as one would expect.
