Synopsis McMillan takes her readers into the Price family, to meet Viola, the matriarch, and her four grown children: Paris (Viola calls her a lion), Lewis (a horse), Charlotte (a bull), and Janelle (a lamb). There's also Cecil, her very unusual husband. McMillan explores their story with the insight into the lives of contemporary African-Americans that has made her a best-seller.

Publisher's Note The author of Waiting to Exhale presents the story of the Price family, from matriarch Viola and her often-absent husband, Cecil, to their four loyal adult children, who experience life entirely on their own terms. Tour. Industry reviews "McMillan fires off rounds of mordant moral and social observation here that are damn near Whartonian in their dissection of African American manners and appearances.... A DAY LATE... is contemporary African American naturalism at its best." Village Voice - Greg Tate (01/24/2001) "Terry McMillan is eager to approximate for her readers the experience of eating bonbons while painting toenails while listening to daytime television..." New York Times - Janet Maslin (01/18/2001) "A moving tapestry of familial love and redemption, A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT is a glorious novel that transported me into Terry McMillan's fictional world and, like the best fiction, helped illuminate corners of my own heart." Washington Post Book World - Jewell Parker Rhodes (02/11/2001) "A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT finds McMillan in top form as she weaves together, through the story of the dysfunctional Price family, a poignant yet hilarious narrative that deepens and extends the themes of love, loss and family only touched upon in her earlier work." Los Angeles Times - Paula L. Woods (02/16/2001) "If, at times, the families in Terry McMillan's fictions of black urban life can seem formulaic, it is because she is as concerned to give her audience cues to self-therapy as she is to create a free-standing work of art....And yet, as we get to know [her] characters in chapter after chapter, they are...capable of surprising us and themselves; McMillan is good at evoking inner lives, and the dreams that make life bearable....A DAY LATE is, of course, a deeply sentimental novel....Yet it both understands how some ordinary but deeply interesting people live their lives, and deals effectively with their attempts to change them. If novels like this are as much a part of such change as therapy, psychics, inspirational television chat shows and lottery tickets, that is by no means a contemptible effect for a writer to try to have on the world around her." Times Literary Supplement - Roz Kaveney (06/01/2001) "Great storytelling with one catch: no plot. But McMillan's trademark earthiness and wonderful dialogue more than compensate." Kirkus Reviews (12/01/2000)
