Learn moreMuch-heralded and long awaited, Terry McMillan's tour-de-force novel introduces the Price family matriarch Viola, her sometimes-husband Cecil, and their four adult kids, each of whom sees life—and one another—through thick and thin, and entirely on their own terms. With her hallmark exuberance and cast of characters so sassy, resilient, and full of life that they breathe, dream, and shout right off the page.
Terry McMillan is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Waiting to Exhale, A Day Late and a Dollar Short, and The Interruption of Everything, and the editor of Breaking Ice: An Anthology of Contemporary African-American Fiction.
