“A moving tapestry of familial love and redemption, A Day Late and a Dollar Short transported me into Terry Mcmillan’s fictional world and, like the best fiction, helped illuminate the corners of my own heart. [It] dared me not to laugh, cry and shout upon recognizing this glittering, complicated portrayal of African-American life” - The Washington Post
