Brown Roots, Blonde Ambition Reviews:

“Belly Laughs! I laughed so hard in parts of this book that my fellow airline passengers must have thought I was crazy. This is a witty, charming, quick read. The author has captured situations and thoughts that most modern American women have experienced at least once in their lives.”

“I have never really laughed out loud while reading a book, but this book was so hilarious that I caught myself laughing on numerous times! Not only was it very funny, but it was also very touching on a level that any woman can relate to.”

“Best Book I’ve Read In A Long Time: This was an absolutely funny book. I related so well to the author's main
character, and for the most part I am proud to say that. Her main character was too funny, getting herself into the most ridiculous situations. I know many women could relate to her, even if they do not want to admit to it.”

“Five Stars! What a fantastic book! It was laugh out loud funny! I will recommend this book to all my friends”
“I highly recommend this book to any woman who always felt like she did not quite measure up to the "perfect people". This book really shows you how unimportant trying to be perfect really is”


"I have never really laughed out loud while reading a book, but this book was so hilarious that I caught myself laughing on numerous times! Not only was it very funny, but it was also very touching on a level that any woman can relate to. I enjoyed the trials and tribulations of Paige Sheehan's story and I can totally sympathize on what it is like to be a 'Skipper'."

Brown Roots, Blonde Ambition Description~
Since 1950, seven out of every ten girls in America have owned a Barbie doll. Paige Sheehan was not one of them. Her mother believed that playing with a doll whose breasts made up half of her body mass was inappropriate for a nine-year-old girl.

During her childhood, Paige was forced to sneak to a friend’s house for her Barbie fixes, where she was directed to play Barbie’s less glamorous younger sister, Skipper. Now more than twenty years later, Paige has a theory that women are either Barbies or Skippers—and she still longs to play the superior role. Barbie women come readily stocked with beauty and accessories galore. Skippers are the younger sisters, impatient to grow up from their awkward adolescence and fill the high-heeled shoes of their glamorous sibling.

Confronted with a failed relationship, a dying father, and a legal entanglement, Paige is forced to look beyond packaging. Unlike Barbie, born with an empire of houses, clothes, and companions, Paige discovers the value of being what she considers to be less than perfect. With a new love interest and a renewed sense of self, Paige takes on the seemingly Barbie-dominated world around her with wit, style, and determination.
