Resumen del Editor

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.

The realistic characters.

I loved the writing style and the voices used to bring the story to life.

Great Listening

Book reminded me of my family and how even after a death of a dear love one; it takes a heavy doze of reality to bring everyone together an on the same playing field. I love it!! It was a refresher from the other books I have been listening.

Good Story

Great Story, good author. The Narration was really good & it was easy to follow. I enjoyed listening to the book.

Great Audiobook, Couldn't Stop Listening

This was a great novel, as always. It was great because it was not the outcome you'd expect. It kept my mouth wide open like "What!?!" If you like Terry McMillian, your gonna love this one, just as all the others. Interruption of Everything was my very favorite. A Definate must read.

A day Late and a dollor short

Alfre Woodard is not only my FAVORITE actress, but now my fav narrator as well. Their were no mistakes which I love. Alfre brings each character she does to life. I could actually see this playing in my head as I was listening.
Its a story abt an African American family and their everyday struggles and how to meet ends meat.
