About this eBook

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Terry McMillan comes an honest look at a modern romance, from love at first sight to painful reality to working toward a happy ending....

Franklin Swift was a sometimes-employed construction worker and a not-quite-divorced dad of two. Zora Banks was a teacher, singer, and songwriter. They met in a Brooklyn brownstone, and there could be no walking away....

In this funny, gritty love story, Franklin and Zora join the ranks of fiction’s most compelling couples as they move from Scrabble to sex, from layoffs to the limits of faith and trust. Disappearing Acts is about the mystery of desire and the burdens of the past. It’s about respect—what it can and can’t survive. And it’s about the safe and secret places that only love can find.

Ratings and reviews

I read this book 20 years ago. I learned real sh** about myself. I learned real sh** about men. My father taught me many things about the reality of men. I decided to share this book with male friends as well as females friends. NOW,.. I NEED my daughter to read this book and understand that relationships are not onesided.

I watch the movie yearssss ago when I was in middle school, read the book my freshman year of college, and now reread the book at the same age as the characters. I absolutely love this story, what a great read.

It was a really good read for me. Definetly had some Sr y stretches but was overall an above average book
