DESCRIPTION:African-American author Terry McMillan presents her juicy new novel, "I 
 Almost Forgot About You."\nAs Amy Tan says, "Terry McMillan's novels have 
 always been about telling the uncensored truth about friends, family, 
 lovers, and oneself. The audience will most definitely find her signature 
 charm, acerbic wit and spot-on depictions of modern life and culture on 
 full display. Terry will be hosted on stage by Sabrina Jacobs, producer of 
 KPFA's public affairs show "A Rude Awakening."  Advance tickets for this 
 KPFA benefit available at brownpapertickets.com and local indie bookshops, 
 such as Marcus Books and Moe's and Pegasus.  More information -

 Bookstore, Mrs. Dalloway’s\nS.F. – Modern Times\n$15 door\n\n“Terry 
 McMillan’s novels have always been about telling the uncensored truth 
 about friends, family, lovers, and oneself. Through addictively revealing 
 conversations —including an instructive one about the sexual prowess of 
 men who made the A list—McMillan’s narrator is the ideal running 
 commentator on what smart women do to reach the pinacle of success and what 
 they must do to get the hell out before it’s too late. It’s a story 
 about both reinvention and acceptances, told in McMillan’s quintessential 
 voice, now even more expansive, prismatically perceptive, and laugh-aloud 
 generous in how we talk about love and all its wonders.”\n\n—Amy Tan, 
 New York Times bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club and The Valley of 
 Amazement\n\n “The warmth and wisdom we have come to expect from Terry 
 McMillan are on full  display and you won’t be able to walk away from 
 Georgia and her exuberant life. This is that thrilling kind of novel that 
 reminds us how sometimes, fairy tales happen when we least expect them, if 
 only we open ourselves to possibility.”\n\n—Roxane Gray,  New York 
 Times bestselling author of Bad Feminist and An Unnamed State\n\nFor nearly 
 thirty years Terry McMillan has been entertaining readers with novels 
 bursting with warmth, humor, and a fearless, tell-it-like-it-is honesty. 
 Beginning with her acclaimed debut novel, Mama, her New York Times 
 bestselling books include Waiting to Exhale, A Day Late and a Dollar Short, 
 The interruption of Everything, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Getting to 
 Happy , Disappearing Acts, and now I Almost Forgot About You, a bold, 
 inspiring story of second chances and next chapters.\n\nReaders will find 
 her signature charm, acerbic wit, and spot-on depictions of modern life and 
 culture on full display.\n\nHost Sabrina Jacobs is the volunteer host and 
 producer of A Rude Awakening, a cultural and political affairs show aired 
 on KPFA. Prior to her own show, she got her start as an intern six years 
 ago and moved on to news reporting.\n\nKPFA benefit\n
