Ann Cedeno is a popular nail tech in South Florida. Over the years, many unforgettable stories crossed her desk, and she secretly began writing Diaries of a Nail Technician in an attempt to share lessons she learned with others. The women's challenges make the stories resonate. If we know what to do in a particular situation, it won't catch us off guard. She never reveals her sources to maintain an impeccable reputation as a person her clients can confide in. Naturally, she disguises the women in her books, making them unrecognizable, even to themselves. In Please Don't Repeat This, in addition to the usual client tales, she tells her own story of growing up, not knowing she was adopted, and then meeting her birth parents because, let's face it, everyone has a story. Ann and her husband live in Parkland. Their daughter is successful in her career, lives close by with her husband and son, and is one of her mother's closest confidants. Their son lives in Nashville, is a drummer for the band Southpost, and shares his mother's love of books.
