From cover:
Terry McMillan is hotter than ever:

"Contains someting increasingly rare in books or films today: a full-blown, sophisticated love affair between two African-American adults." (Denver Post)

"A funny, earthy novel..ribaldly realistic. [Speaks] across class and color lines." (New York Newsday)

"A stunning achievement." (Cosmopolitan)

"A down-to-earth portrayal of love, yearning, and self-preservation...brimming with energy and the hard facts of life." (Kansas City Star)

"Gripping and moving...intensely realistic." (Cleveland Plain Dealer)
