Go as a River, Stay as Yourself is a reflective companion to stories like Go as a River—a book about what it really costs to “flow with life” when your world has been carved by grief, duty, and other people’s expectations.

The Good Hair Day Contract starts in the mirror and follows the invisible negotiations that begin every time we ask, “Do I look acceptable enough to be seen?” Blending cultural critique with intimate reflection, the book uncovers the unspoken deal many of us absorb: on “good hair days” we are allowed confidence, desirability, and professionalism; on “bad” ones, we owe the world apology or extra effort.
