Comfort: A Crown and Glory Lesbian Love Story
Zuri Amara
Book Three in the Crown and Glory Series
by Zuri Amara
A new lesbian romance about chronic illness, healing touch, and the sacred power of Black love.
At Crown and Glory Natural Hair Salon in Charlotte, North Carolina, hair isn’t just hair — it’s culture, dignity, and survival. For Sara, a brilliant computer science professor facing sudden hair loss, crushing fatigue, and a diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), it feels like everything is unraveling.
When she meets Dawn, a warm, faith-rooted natural hair stylist and widow with grown children and healing hands, what starts as a second opinion becomes something deeper. Dawn offers more than hair care — she offers comfort, calm, and quiet sensual intimacy in the face of fear, grief, and change.
Together, Dawn and Sara begin to rebuild a life that honors their pasts and nurtures their futures — full of bubble baths, home-cooked meals, deep-tissue massages, laughter, and slow, grown-woman desire. As their friendship deepens into love, Sara discovers that joy, intimacy, and even pleasure can coexist with illness and aging.
This is rich, powerful prose, a love story with heart, body, and soul. Comfort blends passion and practicality in a way that honors both queer love and Black womanhood in its full-grown glory. The tone is grounded, sensual, and deeply spiritual — a celebration of intimacy without apology and healing without pretense.
