Momma

The explosive novel that introduced #1 New York Times bestselling author Terry McMillan-now in a new trade edition.

Publishers Weekly

This is McMillan's zesty first novel about an impoverished black family's struggle to overcome its problems.

Terry McMillan has been making waves in publishing since she steamrolled her way to the bestseller lists in the '90s and gained even wider audiences as film versions of Waiting to Exhale and How Stella Got Her Groove Back hit theaters. Like no one else, McMillan conveyed the complexities of being a single, upwardly mobile black professional woman -- and a whole group of underserved readers validated her efforts.
