Terry McMillan reads from I Almost Forgot About You.

The latest from Terry McMillan, the bestselling author of “How Stella Got Her Groove Back” and “Waiting to Exhale,” is the story of a woman who shakes things up in her life to find greater meaning. Dr. Georgia Young's wonderful life -- great friends, family, and successful career -- aren't enough to keep her from feeling stuck and restless. When she decides to make some major changes, she finds herself on a wild journey that may or may not include a second chance at love. “I Almost Forgot About You” shows readers what can happen when you face your fears, take a chance, and open yourself up to life, love, and the possibility of a new direction. “McMillan has written an engaging novel with an appealing cast of women... This near-perfect choice for women’s book club discussions will prompt arguments of what makes a guy too good to be true.” -Library Journal starred review Terry McMillan is the New York Times bestselling author of several novels, four of which have been made into movies, and the editor of "Breaking Ice: An Anthology of Contemporary African-American Fiction.” She is also a recipient of the Essence Lifetime Achievement Award.
