Terry McMillan is the author of the critically acclaimed novels Mama and Disappearing Acts. Her third novel, Waiting to Exhale, has been a major New York Times bestseller and is one of the most celebrated books of the decade. Ms. McMillan is also the editor of Breaking Ice: An Anhology of Contemporary African-American Fiction. She lives in northern California with her son, Solomon.
In this proud, poignant tale, four thirty-something African-American women rely on one another for love and support. McMillan's portrait of these friends, who struggle with differing aspects of loneliness, is indelibly etched with love and understanding. Her empathy is vividly realized in her reading of the work. McMillan's passion is infectious. Deft character-ization and a rich, resonant narration sweep the listener along in the beauty and grace of a vision ably articulated in this powerful reading. R.W.B.
