About this listen

Much-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.©2001 Terry McMillan; (P)2001 Penguin Audiobooks African American Family Life Genre Fiction Psychological Women's Fiction Marriage Fiction Divorce
