TERRY McMILLAN. The author has garnered much critical and popular acclaim for her bestselling, character-driven novels — like
Waiting to Exhale and
How Stella Got Her Groove Back. Tonight, she reads from
Getting to Happy, in which McMillan revisits the
Waiting ladies 15 years later and reveals each of them at her own midlife crossroads.
