It's Not All Downhill from Here

By Terry McMillan

Book Overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - After a sudden change of plans, a remarkable woman and her loyal group of friends try to figure out what she's going to do with the rest of her life--from Terry McMillan, the bestselling author of How Stella Got Her Groove Back and Waiting to Exhale

"McMillan brings her signature wit and wisdom to It's Not All Downhill From Here."--O: The Oprah Magazine

Loretha Curry's life is full. A little crowded sometimes, but full indeed. On the eve of her sixty-eighth birthday, she has a booming beauty-supply empire, a gaggle of lifelong friends, and a husband whose moves still surprise. True, she's carrying a few more pounds than she should be, but Loretha is not one of those women who think her best days are behind her--and she's determined to prove wrong her mother, her twin sister, and everyone else with that outdated view of aging wrong. It's not all downhill from here.

But when an unexpected loss turns her world upside down, Loretha will have to summon all her strength, resourcefulness, and determination to keep on thriving, pursue joy, heal old wounds, and chart new paths. With a little help from her friends, of course.

Accomplished Author

As always, Terry is descriptive, colorful and hilarious. She always prompts me to THINK: Is what I believe the TRUTH? Women in our Golden years will enjoy reading about and laughing at some of our [not-so] personal experiences in this book! It read like Terry and I were having a "sister-friend" VIBE! I wanted it to continue.
