Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. The heroines of this novel are four African American women who lean on each other while "waiting to exhale", waiting for that man who will take their breath away. Through their complex friendships, McMillan gives us her most honest and searing novel yet: a poignant and fiercely accurate portrait of modern female camaraderie. The women are: Savannah Jackson. Attractive, educated, and--as her mother and sister keep reminding her--unmarried at the age of 36. On the verge of moving to her fourth city in 15 years, Savannah is "tired of being by myself," and sick of explaining what it is she wants: "peace of mind, a place I can call home; I want to feel important to somebody ." Bernadine Harris. Bernardino after 11 years of marriage has the house,the BMW, and the kids, but a 24 year old white bookkeeper has her husband. All she knows now is that she is going to be a 36 year old, divorced mother of two. With her prescription for Xanax and her first pack of Kools in 106 days firmly in hand, Bernadine is on her own. Robin Stokes. A successful professional recovering from a dead-end-love affair. After months of depression, shopping, and dating all the wrong men, she is "determined to learn how to tell the difference between the Real Thing and the Pretenders," even if she has to create the Real Thing from scratch. Gloria Matthews. Gloria owns Oasis, one of the few hair salons for black women in Phoenix. Repeated disappointments in love throughout her life have driven her to find comfort and solace in God, other people's hair, food, and her teenaged son. Her son Tarik is almost 17 and her "reign as mother" nearly over, Gloria must consider her future. Seller Inventory # 692
