Family ties are tested and changed in the new book from #1 New York Times bestselling author of Waiting around to Exhale and How Stella Acquired Her Groove Backside. With her sensible, wry, and poignant books of family members and friendships - Waiting around to Exhale, Getting to Happy, and A Day Late and a Dollars Shortamong them - Terry McMillan has handled an incredible number of listeners. Now, in her 8th novel, McMillan gives exuberant words to people who reveal how exactly we live now - at least as resided in a racially diverse LA neighborhood. Kaleidoscopic, fast-paced, and filled with McMillan's inimitable laughter, Who Asked You? starts as Trinetta leaves her two young sons with her mother, Betty Jean, and immediately disappears. BJ, a brand McMillan heroine, already has her hands full working with her other adult children, two opinionated sisters, an sick man, and her own postponed dreams - all while retaining down employment as a hotel maid. Her kid Dexter is going to be paroled from jail; Quentin, the family success, can not be bothered to lend a hand; and caring for two energetic grandsons is the very last thing BJ believes she needs. The play unfolds through the perspectives of any rotating cast of people, pitch-perfect, each playing a component, and packed with surprises. Who Asked You? casts an intimate go through the burdens and blessings of family and speaks to trusting your own judgment even when others don't agree with the fact. McMillan's signature words and unforgettable people bring general issues to fantastic, vivid life.
