About this Item

Stella Payne is forty-two, divorced, a high-powered investment analyst, mot her of eleven-year-old Quincy-and she does it all. In fact, if she doesn't do it, it doesn't get done, from Little League carpool duty to analyzing po rtfolios to folding the laundry and bringing home the bacon. She does it al l well, too, if her chic house, personal trainer, BMW, and her loving son a re any indication. So what if there's been no one to share her bed with lat ely, let alone rock her world? Stella doesn't mind it too much; she probabl y wouldn't have the energy for love-and all of love's nasty fallout-anyway. But when Stella takes a spur-of-the-moment vacation to Jamaica, her world g ets rocked to the core-not just by the relaxing effects of the sun and sea and an island full of attractive men, but by one man in particular. He's ta ll, lean, soft-spoken, Jamaican, smells of citrus and the ocean-and is half her age. The tropics have cast their spell and Stella soon realizes she ha s come to a cataclysmic juncture: not only must she confront her hopes and fears about love, she must question all of her expectations, passions, and ideas about life and the way she has lived it. Told in Stella's own exuberant, dead-on, dead honest voice, How Stella Got Her Groove Back is full of Terry McMillan's signature humor, heart, and insight. More than a love story, it is ultimately a novel about how a woman saves her own life-and what she must risk to do it.
