About this title

Review:

"TERRY MCMILLAN KEEPS IT REAL....easily her most accomplished tale...by turns laugh-out-loud funny and gut-punch painful. McMillan has painted a convincing portrait of the kind of woman who can say yes to everyone but herself."--Boston Herald

"VINTAGE MCMILLAN...a very human story with large doses of friendship, humor, family, and imperfect relationships."--The Dallas Morning News

"FUNNY, SAD, AND...FEISTY. [A] frank, no-holds-barred, humorous look at African-American midlife."--The Seattle Times

"[MCMILLAN] HAS...A CUTTING WIT, a knack for capturing the way real people think and speak, a fearless willingness to engage complex, painful issues, and an unerring instinct for fashioning characters that enchant readers' imaginations."--The Washington Post

"WITH HUMOR AND HEART AND HUMANITY, MCMILLAN SPEAKS TO WOMEN ON THE VERGE." --The Hartford Courant
