In a small Texas town where gossip travels faster than the wind, and everyone knows everyone's business, one man stands at the center of it all — Pop Jenkins. He's the local barber, the head deacon of all three churches in town, and a certified expert on just about everything... at least in his own mind.

Set on Pop's back porch, where the barber chair is an old #2 wash tub and the laughter is as sharp as the shears, The Haircut tells the tale of a local named Tommie Strickland who's about to take the trip of a lifetime — to Rome, Italy, to see the Pope. But before he goes, he has to run the gauntlet of Pop's skepticism, sarcasm, and old-fashioned country wisdom.

What happens when a small-town Baptist boy meets the Pope? And how does Pop take it when his predictions don't quite come true? With humor as dry as a West Texas summer and a punchline that'll make you laugh out loud, this story is a tribute to the kind of folksy storytelling you only hear sitting around on a Saturday afternoon with friends and family.
