About this ebook

“Without question, this is McMillan’s best. A glorious novel....A moving tapestry of familial love and redemption.”—The Washington Post

With her hallmark exuberance and a cast of characters so sassy, resilient, and full of life that they breathe, dream, and shout right off the page, Terry McMillan has given us a tour-de-force novel of family, healing, and redemption. A Day Late and a Dollar Short takes us deep into the hearts, minds, and souls of America—and gives us six more friends we never want to leave.

Ratings and reviews

Good story, long winded, but typical family problems. At least they are trying to work through them. Truly enjoyed the book.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It shows that family, if they try, can get through anything and become closer. Family is love and this book reflects that. Terry McMillan is one of the best authors ever. I am never disappointed when I am done reading one of her books.
