Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • After a sudden change of plans, a remarkable woman and her loyal group of friends try to figure out what she’s going to do with the rest of her life—from Terry McMillan, the bestselling author of How Stella Got Her Groove Back and Waiting to Exhale
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY MARIE CLAIRE AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING • “Poignant, funny and full of life, this is a balm for troubled times.”—People
Loretha Curry’s life is full. A little crowded sometimes, but full indeed. On the eve of her sixty-eighth birthday, she has a booming beauty-supply empire, a gaggle of lifelong friends, and a husband whose moves still surprise. True, she’s carrying a few more pounds than she should be, but Loretha is not one of those women who think her best days are behind her—and she’s determined to prove wrong her mother, her twin sister, and everyone else with that outdated view of aging wrong. It’s not all downhill from here.
But when an unexpected loss turns her world upside down, Loretha will have to summon all her strength, resourcefulness, and determination to keep on thriving, pursue joy, heal old wounds, and chart new paths. With a little help from her friends, of course.

One of my faves
Ms McMillan has the unique perspective of bringing the women I know and love to life. She is able to layer her characters with such richness. I knew all of these characters and it gave me a glimpse of the stories often overlooked. As long as she writes, I will continue to read.
Great Read!
I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading other works from this author
Great Read
Loved the story line. I was a bit disappointed after the main characters husband passed away, and I was honestly tempted not to finish it, but I’m so glad that I did. This is a story of true, selfless undying love,Commitment and Sisterhood. I’m I love the ladies sisterly bond. Excellent read!
